Friend: You have to visit me more often so I can see your beautiful family!
Me: Next year we'll come to see you more! Haha.
Sophia quietly gets down from her chair and walks around the dinner table to me to whisper a question:
"What if she dies?"
Me: (horrified to think she may have just been heard by our generous host, I whisper back intensely) Oh, no, don't say that! Shhh!
She nods solemnly and climbs back into her chair to finish eating. Meanwhile, I sit mortified at the thought of her asking the question again but aloud at any awkward moment...
p.s. We all had a merry laugh about it later : )
