Funerals and Four Year Olds

Yesterday was the funeral of a very beloved lady in our church. It is hard to get baby sitters for funerals, because they come with little notice, they are in the middle of the day, and parents are either too far away, or because Dad and I both work at the church they need to attend as well. Anyway, we had to take all of our kids to the funeral home with us. As we arrived there, our oldest, Kara, wanted to know why this is called a home, but it was her question as we left that got me. We got in the van to leave and Kara asked why all the other people in their cars were lined up and not leaving. I told her they had to go to a place where they will bury the body in the ground. Kara replied "What are they going to do with the head?" I instinctively laughed. Kara then declared, "That is not funny daddy."
