My kids have been throwing around the concept of death in a rather casual way lately.  I don’t think they’re trying to be morbid, but they just don’t seem to think it’s a big deal yet.  Here’s a few choice phrases I’ve overheard this past week or so:

• “I’m tired, but I’m not dead yet.”  (Very Monty Python.)
• “Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday… Then you’re dead.”
• “I’ll be a baby again after I’m dead.”  (This one was from my youngest.  Sounds like she subscribes to the philosophy of reincarnation.)
