I May End Up Perishing In A Vat Of Lava. Just Sayin’
I feel like my children are obsessed with me dying. Actually, scratch that. I feel like my children are obsessed with the the way in which I want to die. Or maybe they are just curious? Or maybe they need psychological help? Or maybe they are plotting something?
It seems like every time I turn around they are asking me bizarre random questions about my untimely demise. It usually goes something like this:
BOYS: So, mom. Would you rather die from a shark attack at sea, be thrown into a vat of lava or fall into a pit of snakes?
ME: Err…. none?
BOYS: C’mon, mom. You have to choose something!
ME: Okay, then. I guess lava because it is quicker.
BOYS: Would you rather be eaten by a dinosaur or killed by a Jedi lightsabor?
ME: I don’t know. Why?
BOYS: JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION, MOM!
ME: Dinosaur.
BOYS: How about a million killer bee stings? Or a giant wall of fire?
ME: Oh for heaven’s sake!
BOYS: What?
This kind of thing happens all the time. They think up the most ridiculous situations and give me a preference between the two. Which makes me wonder…. Are they plotting against me? Am I in danger, here?
The next time I say no to iCarly on a school night should I look over my shoulder for a dinosaur or a swarm of killer bees?
Or is it all some kind of pre-pubescent male mommy mind trick?
Call me crazy but I am beginning to feel like perhaps we should seek family counseling.
Oh my goodness! What imaginations they have!!
Death by Jedi lightsaber might be interesting…

Oh you have no idea! LOL!
Too funny! It’s boys I tell ya.
If you say so. I’ll believe you… the alternative is that they are budding serial killers. Which would be a parenting fail, I think.
Goodness. I think I might think twice about throwing out a “no” or the dreaded “let’s see” too!
However, I do agree that the lava pit would be pretty instantaneous. I’m all for quick and easy.

Yeah, totally. The lava is efficient. So it is decided, then…. death by lava. One less thing I have to worry about in life.
Just boys being boys, unfortunately

Brandee – really? Death by lightsabor huh? I would prefer death by sleep but I was never given that option. They are so out to get me.
My girls don’t speculate on the manner of my death, but they do play games in which they are ophans.

At least is wasn’t stung by a million bees then have parts sliced off by lightsaber (which would cauterize the wound do you don’t bleed to death) finally having your barely alive body tossed into a pit of lava
