Death according to Annie and Ashley

I got in the van after class today to a barrage of questions. Annie wanted to know how old Grandpa Smiff is. I told her. Then we had to know how old Gramma Smiff is. I told her. Apparently Aiden's guesses on the way to pick me up were fairly accurate.

How old is Gramma Laura? I told her. Okay. I waited to see if they could remember the name of any of the grandpa's on Brandon's side. But no. So "how old is Dad's dad"? I don't know. I think he's in his sixties. Older than the other three.

What happened to Dad's stepdad?

He died.

Annie: Oh yeah

Ashley: who killed him?

Mom: No one killed him, he was really old and sick.

Ashley: Why did he die?

Mom: He was really old and his body gave up

Annie: What did he die on? ( I think she meant "of")

Ashley: A bed!! DUH
