My Mom used to say this when I did something stupid that could possible end my ( then) short life on Earth.

” What’s the matter with you? ” she would say in disgust ” Do you want to go to Heaven?  Are you desperate to get there soon? “

I  should confess that I managed to accomplish this foolish goal of mine a half dozen times before I sat down for breakfast every single day of my childhood.

I would sit there, cereal spoon in hand and say.

” No, No I don’t want to go to Heaven. “

Sometimes she caught a note in my voice that rubbed her the wrong way and then I would smile and she would shake her head and leave the room.
