Trip to Grandma's, Part 4
Still on the plane. It's a long flight.
Ethan: Dad, look out the window.
Todd: I think we're in a cloud.
Ethan: I think we probably are. I think we're in Heaven. The plane probably crashed. Dad, where does everyone's body go when they die?
Todd: They get buried.
Ethan: What happens when so many people die that all the ground fills up and there's no more room to bury people?
Todd: Good question. I've wondered about that myself.
Ethan: Dad, when are we there?
Todd: 25 minutes.
Ethan: 25 minutes?? Oh, it's so long! Dad, did you know that this day has lasted like two years?
Todd: In real life? Or it just seems that way?
Ethan: In real life.
Todd: How could a day last two years?
Ethan: I don't know. I guess God made a mistake.
Todd: Maybe we've been flying so long that we're orbiting the earth at the speed of light, and when we land, everyone will be two years older.
Ethan: Yeah, that's kind of what's happening. Dad, your whiskers are getting long. Do you think Mom will ever get whiskers?
Todd: I hope not.
Ethan: How much longer?
Todd: 20 minutes.
Ethan: Oh, my God! Only five minutes have passed??
