About a week after I got up from shiva I went to babysit for my grandkids. My 3 year old pulls on my skirt and said “Bobby did you hear my mother’s grandmother was nifter?” At which point her older sister, my 5 year old goes “hush, that’s bobby’s mother!!!”, so my 3 year old without missing a beat says gently “don’t worry bobby, when mashiach comes she will be “UNdead”!”
I just caught my breath in my mouth I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I was just so shocked, the way she put the “UN” together with the word dead. It was just very smart for a three year old who never heard that before. And also how she wanted to make me feel better.
