OK, but are you going to cover the funeral expenses too?

I said no to something our wonderful little boy wanted deeply, madly, from the bottom of his soul. I don't even remember what it was, it happens so often the instances all kind of morph together in my memory.

He pulled his standard response now that he understands how important love is but hasn't yet realized that using it as a weapon is not destined to lead to a life of happiness: "I definitely don't love you!"

Me: "Well, that makes me feel very sad to hear you say that."

Him: "Well... I'll be sad when you die, though."

I'm probably supposed to be collapsed in a pool of tears at this point because my four year old has declared his lack of love for me, but all I can think is "'though'? Hee-hee it's so much funnier because he said 'though' at the end!".
