Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

They can't feel you
Today, I went to a funeral with my family. As we were walking on the grass to the burial site, my 5-year-old brother curiously asks, in a not-so-quiet voice, "Sissy, are we walking on dead people?" It was hard to answer his question with so many glaring people. FML

Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML

Not now
Today, at my mother's funeral, as everyone was around her casket for the viewing, my 5-year-old son in cluelessness of what was going on shouted, "Grandma is more fun when she isn't sleeping." Everyone cried. FML

Come on, dude…
Today, I was at my mom's funeral. My sisters and I were sitting in the front row. The funeral director, whom we had met with twice before, was going around greeting everyone. When she got to us, she asked where our mom was. Seriously? FML

Today, at the funeral home where I work, I asked my boss if it was time to "bring out the stiff". I didn't realize the guy's family was not only in the building, but within earshot as well. FML

Little shit
Today, I went to the graveyard with my little brother to visit my grandfather's grave. While we were there, my brother suddenly asked me, "Can you die now? I hate you." He's 7 years-old. FML

Today, my family attended the funeral of an old family friend's baby, who died in childbirth. Afterwards, my husband went around snickering and quietly telling dead baby jokes to the other attendees. FML
Unfun funeral

Shut up!
Today, I went to my uncle's funeral. His eulogy was ruined by an annoying little kid repeatedly talking over the pastor, who didn't pause for anything, no matter how many times his parents told him to stop. The complimentary lunch was horrible, and the hearse driving him to the cemetery got into an accident. FML

Today, I'm beginning to regret explaining death to my 3-year-old son. We were at the supermarket when he looked at an elderly woman and loudly told her "You're gonna die soon!" FML

You can't expect a four year old to know exactly what to say or do. My nephew has embarrassed me many times :/ Sorry about your loss OP

Lol. That reminds me of the time my little brother asked loudly at a funeral why our grandmother died in a box. He was 4 at the time.

Tell him that the dead people have been stuffed in a locker on top of a pile of discarded Soviet Army uniforms.* Sorry to hear that your uncle died, by the way. *may trigger more questions

Why are you taking your four year old to a funeral?

When my mother died I had no choice but to take my children, twins aged 4 and my oldest aged 5 to the funeral. I explained as simply as I could what was going on and they did well. That experience helped when my husband, their father passed away. Sorry about your loss OP

She is the parent. She decides what is best for her child. If she wants to take her 4 year old to a funeral, that's her choice. No one knows the family situation, how close they were. Not everyone would do it, but this is not your child.

You have to keep in mind that the younger the children are, the less aware they will be, so if your four year old was to exclaim such things, there really should be nothing to be embarrassed about, especially if your kid didn't know much about what's actually going on.

When I was little, I loudly asked my mom at a funeral where the bride was. " / Could've been worse.

Kids are awesome. I wish adults would learn from children.

I wouldn't of taken the child to the funeral. Unless they were extremely close but then the kid wouldn't be like that.
