Conversations with Luke

I'm not sure where he gets stuff from sometimes. The other night we were reading scriptures before bed and Luke asked "Mom, how did Heavenly Father die? Was it on a cross like Jesus?" I told him I had no idea and honestly I'm not sure I've ever thought about that one.

Then yesterday we were driving in the car and he was telling Claire how he is going to die before her and Sophie because he's older. So I told him it doesn't always work that way and that since all of the kids are so close in age any of them could die first. I probably should have just let him tell her and not joined in....

Then we had this conversation:

Luke: but you're going to die before daddy because you're older
Me: Maybe it all depends. I hope that daddy and I die at the same time when we are old because I don't want to live without him.
Luke: Did you get married inside or outside at the Temple?
Me: Inside
Luke: So you'll be married when you die?
Me: Yep. But I would still be lonely if daddy died first
Luke: How does that work? How can you be married when you die?
Me: It's like our spirits and our bodies are married when we get married in the temple.
Luke: hmmmmmm but if you die and your body is gone then what happens?
Me: Our spirits stay married then when we are resurrected we get our bodies back and we are still married.
Luke: OK. When will be at the doctors?

That kid is so funny to me. He will get all crazy with the questions he asks and sometimes I don't really know how to explain them to him since he's 5 and then he just moves on like it's nothing. He cracks me up.

He is a deep thinker. I have never thought about Heavenly Father dying at all.
