Who says cartoons aren't educational???

While driving in the car this evening, the kids and I had quite an interesting conversation... Here's how it went:

Kailee: Dad? When you die, we won't have a dad anymore.

Me: I will always be your dad. Even after I die.

Dallin: Will we see you?

Me: You might not see me for a little while, but we are family and we will see each other again.

Dallin: Where will you be?

Me: Well, my body will be buried, but my spirit will be in heaven with Heavenly Father and Jesus.

Kailee: OH yeah! Kinda like when Tom killed Jerry! Remember, Dallin? Jerry's ghost floated up to the sky?

Me: {speechless for a moment, while I gathered my thoughts}

Although we've had multiple talks about the plan of salvation, I thought it would be wise to go into a little more detail after hearing that remark.

I didn't want them thinking I'd have a halo, wings, or legs that faded away without any feet...

Thanks Tom & Jerry for allowing me another

opportunity to teach my children the gospel!
