the grave fascinates eli. being the boy he is, he always points out cemeteries and a conversation ensues about what goes on there, what’s down there and how they get down there.
in the car today…
eli - look! a graveyard!
lyla - if we go there, will we die?
eli – no, that’s where they take your body when you die. your head, arms and legs go to heaven and they only put your body in the ground.
lyla – oh.
me – oh....i have some explaining to do.
so, i will think twice next time before i say, “when you die you’re spirit goes to heaven to live with God, it’s only your body that goes in the ground.”
he keeps me on my toes.
I'm cracking up!
