After saying good night to daddy, mummy and Mah Mah, Marcus didn’t forget to say good night to his Yeh Yeh on his bed. I was shocked when heard it, hubby quickily answered him, yes, good boy, Yeh Yeh can hear that.
Suddenly, he asked me that he wanted to see his Yeh Yeh. O..o…
Marcus : I want to see Yeh Yeh.
Me : Yeh Yeh had passed away and he’s at a very far place now.
Marcus : I go and find him.
Me : No, you can’t find him. *sob sob*
Marcus : Why? He is in the cupboard. (He thought the coffin is cupboard)
Me : No, it’s coffin you see, not cupboard. That one is for dead people.
Marcus : Why?
Me : (lazy to answer him la, so sleepy) Yeh yeh is at a very far place now.
Marcus : Where is the place?
Me : Errr, he’s in the sky (heaven) now.
Marcus : How he goes there?
Me : (mummy really don’t know how to answer him) Yeh Yeh can ‘fly’ there.
Marcus : Why?
Me : (speechless)……..because of his soul.
Marcus : Why soul?
Me : (speechless)……
Marcus : Why he wants to go there?
Me : After someone died then go there.
Marcus : Why?
Me : Arghhhhh…….(speechless)
By the time I wanted to pass the so many ‘WHY’ questions’ to hubby, he fall asleep. Now then I throughly understand why some mummies will get headache when their kids keep asking them ‘WHY’ questions every day.

Tough to explain death to small kids eh? I tell my kids that a person has gone to heaven if he/she had passed away.
sorry for putting a smile on my face while reading this cute conversation.
Marcus just like my boys now, everything also why and because of what??? NEVER ENDING. Sometime i tell them, i’m very tired, i will tell them tomorrow. ahhahahhahahahha
My kids just know that when animals/ people died, they don’t move & don’t breathe. I don’t know how to explain heaven so leave that out
health freak, it’s really too hard to explain to them. my kid doesnt know heaven, so I explained sky.
Annie, it’s ok. what and why always…tell them tomorrow? if my kid hor, he will aske WHY tomorrow…:P
BoeyHoey, Ohhh…I should explain to my kid died people not move and breathe. thanks.
This is ONE of the tough topics to explain to kids. I think even my 7 yo girl doesn’t really understand the meaning.
