We just got back from a family funeral. It was sad but not for a relative we were particularly close to. My three-year-old had a great time meeting extended family, though.
Three-Year-Old: “I met all the cousins! It was fun!”
Me: “Well, I am glad something good happened today.”
Three-Year-Old: “Let’s go to another funeral!”
After telling her that someone we love has to die before we go to another funeral:
Three-Year-Old: “Okay, get me pencil and paper. I make a list.”
