Kid Comedy

Our 7 year old, Cathy, just came up to me (Never underestimate how much little ones overhear adult conversations and remarks...) and asked, "Is Anorexic dead?"

"Um, well, no, not necessarily" I said, trying to figure out what she meant exactly. "Anorexia is a disease that can make you very sick and sometimes kills people."

She looked at me puzzled and went away. I didn't understand why she was puzzled until big sis, Michelle, came in laughing a minute later. Cathy had gone to her for further information, not accepting my explanation because it made no sense to her...

... considering she thought that Anna Rexic was a person!

(Still giggling over that one!)
