Eli September 2010 Right before turning four

Riding down the road in a 35mph zone.
Eli:  Mama, go faster.
Mama: I can’t go faster.  It’s not safe and I don’t want anything to happen to you boys
Eli:  Nothing will happen to me, I’m tough.
Mama:  Well, something could happen if I was speeding, so Mama is extra careful when you boys are in the car. 
Eli:  If a car hit us, I would be ok.
At this point, we are pulling into our parking lot. Eli is quiet for a few moments.
Eli: Mama, if something happened to you, daddy, and Caleb, I would be all alone. Huh, I started crying when I said that. 
Big tears are coming down his face as the gravity of that hits him.
