My 3 1/2 year old DS asked his dad last night if mummy and daddy would die.. Not sure what prompted this and not surprsingly DH was bit taken aback. We don't want to lie so he said that everone dies one day but not till they are very old and he (DS) would be grown up by then as he seemed to be worried that there would be no one to look after him. Anyone any suggestions on how to deal with thsi one should he ask again?
