Oh, cats! When our dear little cat died, my oldest GS said he was very sorry that we’d lost her, then followed up with ‘Buried or burnt?’ ?. He was going through a death obsession at the time, and visiting a cemetery was his favourite day out. ?
Children’s minds are just so untrammelled by convention and manners and polite society and I am enjoying these stories very much. I’m still chortling over the pergola, and wondering which flowers will be planted around it. 
Recently, while my 17 year old granddaughter and I were watching the news on television, members of a local Conservative Association were being interviewed. My granddaughter turned to me saying, "No disrespect, but I wish they would interview people who weren't likely to be dead in the next twenty years."

My 4yo GD solemnly informed her 12yo American cousin yesterday that the queen had died recently, of death.
We say that's them telt, as well. My GD had to design a placemat about the Queen, most of the class had her on her throne, and mine did her doing a highland fling in front of a castle surrounded by mountains. The corgi is there but it is coloured blue.

Well that simplifies life, death and the universe…
One of my other GC had that sorted by the age of six, Wyllow. Apparently, you live for 100 years, then you die and all the atoms in your body go up into space and eventually become a black hole, which explodes and sends you back to earth to be born again and live another 100 years repeatedly. Simples!
The same GC was telling me about his future plans to become a builder. I suggested he could build a nice house for Dh and me and he said no, he couldn’t do that because we’d be dead by then!
