My son, Jack, turned 4 last week.
The other day as we watched TV (I think The Simpsons was on -nothing to do with anything) Jack cheerily said “sure we’ll never get dead?”
I don’t think he was waiting for an answer. He was happy to leave it at that.
Lucy (aged 7) turned to me with a knowing smile and said “Daddy, will you tell him or will I?”
I didn’t ask her to expand on what she might tell him.
It was a funny and sad moment. An excellent combination I find. 🙂

Last night as I was dressing Jack for bed, he hung his head and quietly asked “Sure fuck off boyo isn’t a nice thing to say?”
I shook my head and told him no it’s not. He seemed happy to know it.
