Conversation with Kiera

Kiera (apropos of nothing): Where do we go when we die?
Me: Uhhhhh well I think we go to heaven, if we've been good people.
Kiera: But you could be wrong!
Me: Yes, I could. Where do you think people go when they die?
Kiera: Washington.
Me: (momentarily speechless)
Me: Washington state, or Washington D.C.?
Kiera: Washington state.
Me: Oh. Well, what about all the people in Washington state who are still alive?
Kiera: They step over the bodies.

So, when we die we go to Washington but as dead bodies? I wonder if I should invest in a funeral home in Snohomish.

Hmm. So, if good people go to Washington state when they die, then bad people go to Washington D.C.?

Makes a disturbing sort of sense....

I wonder what in the world made her mind go to Washington ...

My wife [livejournal.com profile] starherd says: "That's beautiful!"

Seriously, hilarious. That's one Kiera will be able to look back fondly on when she gets older.

Can I steal your daughter in that non-literal way? She is priceless.

Wow, she is so your daughter. That's better than our nephew saying that the pinkies for the snakes to eat in Zoolab weren't dead, they were frozen.
