31. When my mother died my then 4yo son kept running around saying
"Amma's dead. She's a goner. She's kicked the bucket."

I was very taken aback by this, but after a while I just figured it was the only way he could process it. His brother, older by two years, handled it differently and kept insisting it was his great grandmother and not his grandmother who died.

On a chicken note, my older kid loves chicken nuggets. Someone dumped a rooster and hen in a woodland preserve down the road from us a couple summers back and the birds ended up in our yard. He and I talked about whether or not having them around would make it hard for him to eat the nuggets anymore, and he said "Nah. As long as I don't know them..."

Kids are interesting, eh? :)
