Renowned children’s author Robert Munsch, famous for works like “The Paper Bag Princess,” has chosen to undergo assisted suicide following a dementia diagnosis, making light of his serious choice.

“Hello, Doc — come kill me!” the Canadian citizen joked to the New York Times. “How much time do I have? Fifteen seconds!”

Munsch, also known for the popular “Love You Forever,” was diagnosed with the progressive illness in 2021. This decision came after witnessing his brother endure a painful death from Lou Gehrig’s disease.

While others wanted his brother to keep seeking more treatment, Munsch realized he didn’t want to suffer a similar fate.

“They kept him alive through all these interventions. I thought, ‘Let him die,’” he told the Times.

He has now received approval for “medical assistance in dying,” or MAID, which was legalized in Canada in 2016.

Although he hasn’t set an exact date, Munsch must carry out the act while still capable of consenting, as reported by the newspaper. He anticipates making the decision to die when he encounters difficulty in communication.

“I have to pick the moment when I can still ask for it,” said Munsch, before turning to his wife and cracking another joke.

“You’re stuck with me being a lump,” he said if he misses the ability to sanction his own death.

Munsch, 80, was born in Pittsburgh, growing up as one of nine siblings before he later plunged into Jesuit priest studies for seven years.

After realizing he “was lousy priest material,” he pivoted to working with kids and wrote his first book, “Mortimer,” according to his bio.

He later became a Canuck, and eventually skyrocketed to become one of Canada’s top authors around the 1980s while also gaining fame in the US.

Munsch, who has admittedly battled with manic depressive disorder and addiction issues, has penned more than 70 books and many of his characters are based on children he met in real life.

“I am a storyteller,” he wrote on his website. “I write books for kids, I talk to kids, and I listen to kids.”
