I Love You, Even When...

I was putting the boys to bed the other night, and had the oddest conversation.

Ryan: Mommy, I love you.
Me: I love you too sweetie.
Ryan: I'll always love you....
Me: Awwww
Ryan: ... I'll even still love you when you're dead.
Me: ?????

Is he planning my untimely demise?
What the heck???
