Conversation with Kiera

[naomikritzer]

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.

I know a fair number of people who live in Washington, but you were the one I immediately pictured, stepping over the bodies on your way to your coffee shop...
