Bedtime fears: «Will you die, Mum?» and «Will I die?», sentence 3

Families plan ahead the way people pack an umbrella: parents choose who would look after their children if something happened, and Grandad saying «you'll get my stamp collection» means he is planning, not that he is dying soon.

Who acts: Families, people, parents, something, Grandad, you · What happens: plan, pack, choose, look, happen, say · To what, where: way, umbrella, stamp collection · Speech: someone speaks here
