Philip's sunday school teacher is wonderful! She has 3 boys & she has loved on all 3 of mine while they have been in the bed babies at church. Her mom passed away last week & I thought we needed to go to the funeral.
We walk in and say Hi to Mrs. Faye when I see Kirkland staring at the casket. (I knew what was coming, but I couldn't stop him from talking). He asks, "Why is there a head sticking out of that oox?" I pretend like I don't hear him so that I don't have to answer in front of Mrs. Faye. So, he asks louder, "Why is that woman sleeping in that box". I have to answer at this point, there is no pretending like I didn't hear him. So, I remind him that this is Mrs. Faye's mom & that she died. Kirkland, ever the theologian, says, "I thought you said she was in heaven. What is she doing in that box?" Excellent question that I then had to answer in front of the entire crowd that had now gathered.
A few minutes later, I am talking to someone for like 2 seconds when I hear Kirkland gasp & say, "CHARLIE, NO!". I turn around in time to see Charlie pulling his hand out of the casket.
Clearly it was time to go!!
