What if

Elizabeth: "Mommy, what if you went to jail and died there."

Me: "What?  What do you mean?  What if that happened? Do you think that might happen?"

Elizabeth: "I don't know. If you smashed into a person and they got dead, you could go to jail.  And then you could die there.  So if that happens, how would anyone know."

Me: "If I was in jail, I'm guessing some people would know about it."

Elizabeth: "Maybe we can put some fun numbers of people we know who could take care of us on the refrigerator in case that happens and then we can call them to let them know."

Me: "Good idea Elizabeth. That list already exists and is on the fridge so you are all set if I go to jail."

Elizabeth: "Oh good. Who's on the list?  Susan? Aunt Amy?"

Me: "Yup.  Those people."

Elizabeth: "Great."

So...Susan and Aunt Amy...if Elizabeth calls you one day, you'll know why.
