what happens when we die?

[posted by bkmarcus]

Jesus Christ SuperstarI've got songs from Jesus Christ Superstar stuck in my head.

(I haven't watched the movie recently. I haven't listened to the soundtrack recently. But I was discussing early Church heresies and schisms with my friend Carolyn this morning, so that's probably how the crooning disciples got in my head.)

Benjamin heard me singing this:

Always thought that I'd be an apostle
Knew that I would make it if I tried
Then when we retire we can write the gospels
So they'll still talk about us when we've died.

"Papa, did you say 'fossil'?"

"No, sweetheart, I said 'apostle'."

"Papa, I need to tell you a song that's stuck in my head:

In a boat, when we fall out and drown,
we all be-come fossils when we die…"

Wow-- where did Benjamin get the idea of "falling out and drowning" from?

Benjamin has been bouncing back and forth between Puzzle Pirates and Puzzle Dinosaurs — two great puzzle books from Usborne, by the way. So I think he's got both boats and fossils on his mind.
