Vultures

We rode the safari at Animal Kingdom. The girls loved seeing all of these beautiful animals but my Birdy was particularly intrigued by the vultures. I told her that vultures eat dead animals as part of the circle of life. With panic in her face she had the following question after I told her that.

Birdy "So if they eat dead animals do they eat dead humans?"

Me "Well I guess they could but they probably don't find many dead people laying around, just dead animals."

Meanwhile I still haven't remembered that we just buried one of our grandma's a few days before we left for Disney World.

Birdy "Oh no, the vultures are going to get Grandma Afton and Grandpa Harrison's bodies and eat them."

I tired to explain caskets and 6ft under but she was still concerned during the remainder of the ride. I think she forgot about it though when I bought her a Mickey shaped ice cream bar. I know that always makes me feel better about life too.
