You know how sometimes the split seconds words leave your mouth, you sense that you will regret what you have said? Well I did just that on Friday. Going up the slip road to the motorway traffic was very slow. Before I could think I'd already said it "oh the traffic is slow because there is a funeral procession".

G : What's a funeral procession mum?
M : It's when they take a person's dead body to that garden thing that you get when you're dead (we've explored the local cemetary).
G: (Sitting bolt upright) Are we going to go past it. Am I going to see a real dead body in a box
M : Yes, We're going to go past it because it's going a different way to us
G : Wow, mum, is there a real dead body in that box
M : Yes

Then the was a pause of about 30 seconds while he had a think

G : Mum, if your body goes in the ground in a box, how do you get to heaven?

Me - insert complex explanation about soul leaving your body etc. I really do need to learn think. Chances are that he would have seen it anyway. A hearse is quite hard to miss.
