Quick recovery

Greg is sitting at the kitchen table, changing our options for life insurance. The kids are around...doing homework, walking in and out...so they hear some of the discussion around the dollar amount of the policies for each of us.

Maddy pipes up: Wow, Dad. If you die, we'll be rich!

Amused silence.

She quickly adds: ...rich in sadness, that is!


Well played, Miss M, well played.
