Child #1 and I were holding a discussion about good choices and why we should always make them (a topic we discuss often and quite openly). He knows that if he makes good choices, he'll more than likely go to heaven...
Child #1: I guess it's easier to make good choices, huh, mom?
Me: Yup. Bad choices lead to bad consequences. Good choices, good consequences.
[He's heard that once or twice before, for SURE!]
Child #1: I guess it's better than going to Haiti.
Me: [utterly confused!] What!?!
Child #1: Well, that's where all the bad people are, isn't it?
Me: Um....no. There are LOTS of good people in Haiti. Lots of them.
Child #1: That's not what I heard!
Me: [more utterly confused] What are you talking about?
Child #1: In Greek mythology they talk about Haiti being the underworld and all the bad people get sent there.
Me: Um...no. That's Hades.
Child #1: Oh. Oh, yeah. Then what's Haiti?
Me: A country.
Child #1: Oh.
