I Had No Idea How to Respond
Once, my kid looked at me and asked me nonchalantly, “How come you’re not waking up tomorrow?” It was totally out of the blue and I had no clue how to respond. No one wants to have to randomly think about their mortality.
I was definitely up that night in fear of what the next day would bring—so I suppose I didn’t wake up anyway, as I didn’t fully fall asleep. Gotta love a self-fulfilling prophecy. Story credit: Reddit / Emergency-Hyena5134
