Perceptions of reality ...

I had an interesting moment earlier today.

Carmen loves babies.  I found this "Baby Slide Show" on YouTube and Carmen watches it daily.  "BABIES!!!!" she squeals.

Today, Sadie (the kindergartner I watch) started watching the slide show and was interested in all of the cute Anne Geddes photos.

"Whoa, does someone really take these pictures?" she asked.
"Yes." I responded.
"Of dead babies?????" She seemed really concerned about this.
"What?  No!  They're not dead babies.  They're just sleeping.  She takes pictures of babies while they're sleeping."
"Then why did that one have wings?"
"Because they're dressed up in costumes.  They're sleeping.  She dressed them up and took pictures of them while they were sleeping.  See, sometimes they're just sleeping, other times they have wings, other times they're dressed like flowers ... they're not dead.  Just sleeping."
"Oh."

Phew.

To think Sadie could've grown up thinking all those cute Anne Geddes photos are dead babies .... O__o;
