Walking to the car one sunny afternoon, the kids and I spotted a very dead and squished squirrel on the road.  After closer inspection, of course, this is the conversation that followed:

Liam:

“Flies eat poop and they’re eating that dead squirrel.”

Iain:

“Yeah, who would want to eat a dead thing?”

Liam:

“Who would want to eat poop?!”

Iain:

“Well, some people kill animals and then they save the bodies.”

Liam:

“oooooooo gross!”

Iain:

“Yeah, they clean out all their guts and stuff.”

Liam:

“Like their brain and stuff?”

Iain:

“Yeah, they throw it out.”

Liam:

“oh, they throw it out the window?”

Iain:

“No, in a trash can.”

Liam:

“Gross!  Who would want a brain in their trash can?!”
