Leaving

Sometimes kids get really deep, really quickly.  Here's a discussion Charlie and Schuyler had at the breakfast table when we were talking about Mama going away to Vermont for work:

Charlie:  "When you guys are away I cry."

Sky:  "We're never going away, Charlie. Unless we die."

Charlie:  "Die?"

Sky:  "Everyone you know will die someday, Charlie."

Charlie:  "Everyone?"

Sky:  "Yup.  They bury your bones and celebrate."
