Birthright

Camie has been bugging me about giving her a jewelry box that was given to me by my parents when I was about 9. It is wooden, has a pretty inside, and best of all has a wind up music box in it that plays "Happy Birthday". I told her I'm not ready to give it away yet because it'll get torn up. After continuing to ask about it for a while she dropped the subject (probably at my insistence). We were both busy for a little bit, then she broke the silence with, "When a grownup dies, do the kids get their stuff?" Having briefly forgotten the subject we'd just been discussing I was a little surprised at her question. Then I remembered the jewelry box and asked if that's why she wanted to know. She grinned and said yes. I just laughed with her and told her she's still not getting the jewelry box yet. :)
