Drake, on the nature of existence (and baths)

Drake, while being helped into the bathtub: DON’T get the drain while I’m in here, Mommy. I’ll get sucked down and there won’t be any more Drake.
Me: I think it’s safe, Buddy, but I won’t let the water out if it scares you.
Drake: It’s really important!! I won’t BE anymore. And you will be so all alone that YOU won’t BE anymore. We will just be GONE and never come back.
Me: Wow, Drake.
Drake: Yeah. And the tub will be all empty. But the light will still be on.
