This is what Aspen asked me on Saturday night. I was confused, and asked what in the world he was talking about. "You know," he said, "put me in the dirt so I can go be with Jesus if I don't feel better tomorrow". He had been miserable and sick for a couple days by then, and I guess he was just fed up with feeling that way! Of course I was horrified that he would say or even think such a thing. So morbid for a 4 year old, it creeped me out!
When Aspen is sick, things slow down here a lot. Our normal routine when he is sick is that he gets to lay on the couch and watch tv or play video games. We have been watching a lot of the old Tom & Jerry Tails and Popeye. Journey is so used to playing and being bugged by Aspen, that she is confused when he is too sick to do those things. She misses his attention so much that she has taken to bugging the garbage out of him. She hits (gently) him, pokes him, touches keys on the computer when he is trying to play, etc. All in an attempt to get some attention out of him. I call it pay back!
Well, unfortunately, he is still sick, but luckly he hasn't asked to be put in the dirt again :)
