Dead Man Chalking ...

The weather is quite nice and Milo's kindergarten class had gone outside for gym. So, when I picked him up from school today, he pulled me straight into the school yard to show me something.

"I made a people," he said, showing me a chalk-drawing of a stick man.

"That's great, Milo," I said, "Who is it?"

"It's Daddy. He's dead."

"Oh no! How did he die?"

"Because he's on the pavement and I stepped-ed on his toe."

"What do we do with him now?"

"We just wait. Wait for him to be sucked down into the ground."

Happy sweeping!
