I am positive that my boys have old souls

I swear these boys of mine are too funny. Their conversations they have are too much. We were in the car on our way to go shopping and the boys start talking about their favorite stores. Logan went first. He decided he likes going to Walmart and Michaels. I was so shocked to hear him say Michaels. But his reasoning behind it is because his name is Logan Michael. It is too funny. So then Owen goes next. He decides that his favorite store is Target (the red store). No reasoning behind that one. Then they start talking about death. Now death has been a big topic in our house for quite some time now. First reason being, Great Grandpa died, and two the little boy that got hit by the car and died in our town last year. Owen used to talk about it as people going to see Jesus (this is how we explained it), now he just says, they are dead. Anyways, Logan asked how Jesus died. I said He died on the cross. Owen then said, "Yep He did. I saw Him on the cross. I even saw His blood." (Owen is going to church school this year, and they take field trips to the schools chapel) Anyways then they get talking about when you die. I told them that you are pretty old when you die. They come back with "Well, Great Grandma, is old." I said "Yep, you are right, but Great Grandma wants to see you get really big. Great Grandpa wanted to see you get really big too, but he got really sick." That seemed like a good enough answer for them. Then they ask "Kids aren't old, why do they die??" I told them that kids die because they may get sick, or they get into an accident, like the littel boy on the bike. Then that was my time to talk about why I may yell at them sometimes because they are not paying attention and I want to keep them safe. Well that all made sense. Then they had to ask about my parents dog, "Why did Kadee die?". "Well, she was just old". That seemed to answer everything at that point, but boy sometimes I wonder what they are thinking about in their head. Owen talks a lot about Great Grandpa. I think he really misses him because he doesn't see him anymore. But I have to say I am very happy that he knows about him and will remember him.

These boys are just too much some days, but I LOVE listening to them talk to eachother and their little discussions. While we were at the store today, Logan starts giving words to Owen to spell. Logan has no idea how to spell these words, but still encourages Owen to spell them. He will give him a "Good Job" or a thumbs up when he gets them right (which is ever time, for Logan)
