The Explanation of Death Had Nothing to Do With Me.

Conversations about "God" and "Death" occurred these past two weeks.

BH was stubborn and jumped off from a high place in the backyard.  He fell but did not hurt himself.

Grandma: BH, I told you not to jump from there because you could hurt yourself! You could have broken an arm or something!
BH: But I didn't hurt myself ::argumentative crying::
Grandma: I know and thank God you did not!
BH: Why are you thanking God? He's not here.

While driving through town, H1 noticed that a local shop was having a major clearance sale as sadly the owner lost her battle with cancer.

H1: Oh no...they're closing up.  The owner died...
BH: Why did she die?
H1: Well honey, she had cancer.
BH: What happens now?
H1: Well some people believe that when you die, your soul goes to heaven.
BH: You know when you die, a fairy comes out of you.
H1: What? A fairy? Are you sure you don't mean a spirit?
BH: No, a fairy.
H1: And where did you learn this?
BH: Link and Zelda.

I never taught him about fairies and Link, okay?! I think he heard that myth from H1!
