"Do you realize that someday everyone you know will die?" (flaming lips)

So upon entering the play room bustling with kids this morning at my work place (a day camp) I'm greeted by the 9 year old special needs girl I work with urgently telling me something that she was very excited about!

K:"Oppa in a boxx!"

I looked around puzzled and another counselor came over to me and began to explain the situation. K (for confidentiality we'll call her that) had just attended her first ever wake ,as a learning experience.

K talked about it for the first hour solid at least. She has a thing with repeating :P

K: "Know what!?! Oppa deadd. He dead. His body diedddd, and now it's in the dirt! Now he go to heaven!"
Me: "yep.."
K: "Know what! Everybody diesss. Mommy going to die. Daddy going to die.."
Me: "yup that's right.."
K: "Me going to die." *points at me* "YOU going to die"
Me: ... *blank face and tired morning eyes* ".. yeah.. that's right K"
Co-worker: "Sounds like it's going to be a depressing day for you"
Me: ugh.

Hahaha and she was right. It was quite the funeral of a day!
