“- How should I explain you, mom? There are actually two skies: one where are the sun, the clouds and the aeroplanes and one sky where are all the dead people.
– Well fine, but how such big heavy aeroplanes can fly?
– Ah, this is so simple, aeroplanes have gravitation. So does the sun. The sun is standing on the sky because it has gravitation, otherwise, it would just fall down. The clouds … Do not believe even for a second that clouds are made of cotton candy.
– Nooo? 🙂
– Come on, mom, of course not, clouds are made of water, flashes of lightning and thunders. Did u believe the rain is falling from the sun?
– Oh, but explain to me what is gravitation, I don’t really get it.
– Gravitation is that thing which makes you stay high in the sky.
– And what dead people are doing in the sky?
– Dead people are walking their bones like crazy. They don’t eat, don’t drink, they don’t have any music, also not sweets, they are just some calm dead people, that’s it. You know, it is not funny at all to be there, grandma told me. If a friend of yours dies, he or she gets there and u can visit them, but you have to wait a little bit … until u die.”
