Lessons from six feet under

| | Comments (0)
I wish I can sit down and think about all the ways I will explain the mysteries of life to my boys. Today, Wonder Boy came to report that the hermit crab in our aquarium wasn't moving. Could I please feed it?

I dropped some fish flakes in, all the time thinking of the best way to explain death and dying to a four-year-old.

Our yellow fish darted back and forth eating the flakes while poor Crabby lay sideways at the bottom of the tank.

"Maybe he's just resting," I suggested.

"No, Mom," Wonder Boy retorted. "I think he's dead."

Ahhh, what was that about our kids teaching us?
