Momma can I have your ring? (pulling at my wedding ring)
No, that is my wedding ring, and I leave it on because Daddy gave it to me....
Can I have it, please?
After I die, you can have it....
(her face lights up and I immediately see my mistake and add...) in about 50 years I should be really old, and will die, because I am old, and then you can have my ring....
REALLY!
*sigh* yes, really....
When I grow up, get married, you get old and die, then I can have your ring.
yes.
and then at bedtime....
Mom, I get to have your ring when you die, right?!
yes.
So, when you die, I get a new Momma, too?!
NO! You will be all grown up, and I will be very, very old...
So, I don't get a new Momma, (she seems very disappointed at this point)
No, and you still have to go to bed, too!
