Caterpillar Update

Not so much an update since the caterpillar is still dead.  However, the conversations we have been having with Haden are enlightening.

Morning:

Haden:  Can I see my caterpillar?

Dad:  Your caterpillar died. 

Haden:  Huh?  What?  It died?  What?

Mom:  It got sick and died.

Haden (running out of the room):  Connor, the caterpillar died. (always keeping his brother in the loop)

We thought that was the end.  Then later that day:

Haden:  Can I see my caterpillar?

Mom:  It died.  There is nothing to see.  Go get your shoes on.

Haden:  Is it still sick?

Mom:  Nope.  It is dead.  Please put your shoes on.

Haden:  Well, when will it get better?

Mom:  It won’t.  It’s dead.  Will you go get your shoes on?

Haden:  When will it come back alive?

Mom:  When Jesus comes.

Haden (running out of the room):  Connor, the caterpillar will come back when Jesus comes.

Good.  we are finally done with this discussion.  Dinnertime:

Haden:  When will Jesus come again?

Mom:  Dan, take over.

At least it is about a caterpillar and nothing more traumatic.
