Caged

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!
