franceslievensWhen returning home from school MK and I pass a dead pigeon.
MK: Birdie, wake up!
Me: MK, I don't think that bird is going to wake up, honey. Come on, let's go.
MK persists: Wake up, birdie!
Me: Sweetie, that bird won't wake up. It's passed away. It's dead. It isn't going to wake up anymore.
MK: Dead birdie, wake up!
I'll never fully grasp the logic of children.
Gruesome detail: The pigeon was already decaying, but this didn't stop my niece from considering it fully alive and kicking. So you say zombies are only a myth...
