today he found out that all humans die at DIFFERENT TIMES and he's LIVID

"who's going to die first??? which one of us?? are you going to leave me alone in this house while you turn into dirt?? i can't reach the cereal!!!!"
apparently he previously thought humanity would "all stop living together," in some sort of mass extinction event, and that was totally fine with him
pleased to report he's much calmer this morning; his main concern now is who gets our house when we die and whether or not they will throw his toys away. he has also asked if we can open gifts now, "in case we all die before christmas," so i think that's the bargaining stage?
jesus he just looked at the dog and asked "will jelly bean die?" and look, we have been honest and straightforward through all of this, but i said "maybe" bc human mortality is one thing but it's absolute horseshit that dogs die
okay muting this now, for the sake of anxious kids everywhere i am begging you: wear your masks and get the vaccine
