Everybody dies

One morning during vacation Ladybug came to my bedroom and woke me up...sobbing.  Tears were streaming down her face.

As I mentioned before, mornings are not my thing.  And she is waking me up.  Sobbing.  As I struggled to wake up all I could think was, "This is not a drill!  Wake up.  Deal with it.  Repeat, this is NOT a drill!"

Mama: Honey, what is wrong?
Ladybug: I...sob...don't...sob...want...sob...to...sob...die.
Mama:  What?  Who said you are going to die?
Ladybug:  You did!
Mama: (quick, think...what is she talking about?  I said it?)  What?  I said you were going to die?  When?
Ladybug:  A long time ago.  And I don't want to die.
Mama: (I seriously have no recollection of this)  Oh Honey, I don't remember saying that.  You are not going to die.  You are a little girl.  You have a long life ahead of you. (please let that be true)
Ladybug:  Okay.

And skips out of the room.  I collapse on the bed. 

Good morning.

Mean Mama
