So D.J. is telling me that we are going to have his first birthday party at PopPops. Sadly my PopPop died last December so this is the first birthday DJ won't have a party there. When he died DJ was too little understand but when he brought it up today I thought I'd tell him that PopPop had died and went to heaven. Here's the conversation:
DJ:When's my first party at poppops.
Me:Oh honey. We can't have a party at poppop's this year. Poppop's not here anymore.
DJ: He's gone?
Me: Yes sweetheart he died and went to Heaven.
DJ: (screams) AND GOT PUT IN A CAGE??????
I then gently explained heaven but not after I giggled a little bit. I have no idea where he got the idea that when you died you were in a cage unless he's seen a coffin which I don't think he has. I thought it was pretty funny though and man it made me miss my poppop!

HA HA HA too funny.... I remember when I was little I asked my mom if we could visit my grandpa at his job. She said "oh he's not there anymore" and I asked why and she said he got fired. I freaked out and demanded an explanation. I wanted to know why they couldn't just tell him not to come back. They didn't need to set him on FIRE! Then got very pissed at my mother for laughing. I wondered how she could laugh at such a mean thing to do to my grandpa.
I tried to conceal my laughter as much as possible but I gotta tell you it was hard!

Pretty cute little guy! We have some things in common--lots of anti-depressants going around at our house. What a blessing it is! Also, I am pretty seriously into books, too. . .
