On Death
Scrivener July 19th, 2008
Eldest explains death to Youngest: “You see, once you are born, you stay alive until you get too old or until you get hurt really badly or until you get seasick.”
(She later explained that she saw on the American Girl movie that you can get really sea sick on a ship and die.)
It’s a good thing it *doesn’t* kill you, or I would have been buried at sea long ago.
After 8 years in the navy and getting sick *every* time he went to sea, my husband would definitely agree with that observation. He certainly *felt* like he was dying! ;-D

What a great explanation! Love it.
