Broaching The Subject

Butterfly and I had our first conversation about death this morning. 
B:  What is that, Mommy?
M:  It is a dead bug.
B:  A dead bug?
M:  Yes.
B:  I want to look at it.
M:  You can go look at it, but don't touch it.  It is dirty.  I need to throw it away.
B:  You want to hold it?
M:  No, it's dirty!
B:  It can move around?
M:  No, it can't move around.  It's dead.
B:  You get some batteries?
M:  (unable to speak due to laughter)

After I took the picture, she looked at it on the camera and said, "That bug is really hard to see!"
