Quite recently, I had to explain death to my three year old. My grandmother lost her battle with cancer and when my daughter noticed 'grandmom-mommy' wasn't at her house, Maniac asked questions.


The conversation went as follows.

*maniac* "Where's grandmom-mommy?"

*me* (pause to think) "Grandmom-mommy is in heaven playing games with God."

*maniac* (pauses) "Grandmom-mommy is dead?"

*me, surprised she figured that out* "Um..."

*maniac before I can answer* "She gonna be a nombie?" (nombie = zombie)

Might I add that she also looked quite intrigued with the idea of Nombie Grandmom-mommy?


No more Shawn of the Dead for her.
