Ok, I never let my kids play the *what if* game.
The moment it started I would just take it immediately to the extreme "OMG What if the sun blows up and we are all killed?" What if that happened?" The kids would sort of knowingly smile and stop. After a while they didn't bother with that game any more.
I'll bet Hannah lets her kids play the what if game. Don't be like Hannah.
