Deathly Serious
(My wife and I are in the kitchen, talking, when our four-year-old daughter comes in, grinning ear to ear.)
Daughter: “I’m so happy!”
Me: “Oh, yeah? Why is that, honey?”
Daughter: *suddenly very serious* “Because I was going to die today.” *her face brightens* “But then I didn’t!”
(My wife and I stammer out some kind of response, and after she skips away, glance at each other warily.)
Wife: “Well, that was creepy.”
Me: “Yep. I think I just met my quota for the day.”
