When I was like 8 years old I went sledding with my dad. We arrived at a slope and not even 2 minutes later he got hit by a sled, went flying and broke three ribs. Me, just seeing my dad laying on the snow in pain, went to him and told him "Dad, when you die, am I allowed to bring you flowers?" Kinda grim
My son is 3 and he will glare at me and say, "You're DEAD!" when he gets pouty over something, such as me asking him to eat his vegetables. It's weirdly adorable for him to bust out with really grown up/serious sounding things.
And no, I've never said anything like that around him. I assume he's been picking up at preschool. He definitely doesn't know what "dead" means. He just thinks he's being sassy.
From the time I was 3 to around 5 every time I’d see my uncle I’d ask “when are you going to die?” . Everyone thought it was funny until he passed from prostate cancer in 2006, and my idiot six year old self asked if I was magic because “I knew” at the funeral.
