Dead

October 2009

Mommy sent Liam to his room to get his jammies on and get ready for bed. Mommy went up 5 minutes later to find Liam lying in the bed, eyes open, motionless.

Mommy: "Liam - no time to fool around - get under the covers."
Liam: *No response*
Mommy: "Come on, it's already late and we have a long and busy day tomorrow."
Liam: *No response*
Mommy: *Tickles Liam's foot*
Liam: *Giggles* "You thought I was dead, didn't you?"
Mommy: "No, I didn't."
Liam: "You did!"
Mommy: "No, I didn't. I felt you, you were warm. When people die, they get cold."
Liam: "No, not always."
Mommy: "Yes, they do."
Liam: "No."
Mommy: "Yes."
Liam: "No! If someone died in the desert, they won't be cold!"
Mommy: *Laughs*
