Conversation from last night while getting Ada ready for bed.
Ada: Daddy, how old are you?
Me: 30.
Ada: That’s old!!!
Me: Well, it depends. To you it is old, but to Mae-mae (my mom) it'd be just getting started.
Ada: No, 30 is pretty old.
Me: Thank you.
Ada: Are you going to die soon?
Me: I hope not.
Ada: Me too. When you die, are you going to go to Heaven?
Me: Yes.
Ada: Then that will be fun, right?
Me: I think it will be.
Ada: You are going to heaven because Jesus lives in your heart, right?
Me: Right, something like that.
Ada: Who lives in Jesus’ heart?
Me: That is a good question. You see, there is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Hol….
Ada: (interrupting) I’d miss you though, if you died and went to Heaven.
Me: Well, we don’t have to worry about that right now.
Ada: Yeah, you don’t even have a walking stick yet. When you get really old and about to die, you use a walking stick, so when you start using a walking stick I will worry then.
Me: Works for me.
I think after work today, I am going to walk in the door with a walking stick to see what kind of reaction I get. I bet it will be hilarious.

Dwight: When I die, I wanna be frozen. And if they have to freeze me in pieces, so be it. I will wake up stronger than ever because I will have used that time to figure out exactly why I died and what moves I could have used to defend myself better now that I know what hold he had me in.
I have one thing on my bucket list: to grow old. According to Ada, I can go ahead and scratch it off.

that is hilarious! you should totally get LB to buy you a cane for christmas!
I'm glad Ada hopes you don't die soon. Always a good sign you're doing something right as a dad!
I agree with Ricky - glad she wants you around! My son tells me I'm old all the time.. I'm 31.
Thanks guys. Sometimes if I sit and think about it long enough, I still freak out about the fact that I am a dad. So hopefully I am doing something right.
And Jessica, I think I could rock a cane. Especially to church on Sunday mornings. But if I did use a cane, I would attach one of those grabbers where you squeeze a button on the handle and it pinches together on the end. It wouldnt just promote my laziness, I'd use it to pick up litter too. Basically, me using a cane would be good for the environment.
