Sophie and I found a bird's nest in the eaves above our front porch.
"See that?" I said. "That's a bird's nest. Birds built that so they would have someplace to put their eggs. One day the eggs will hatch and little baby birds will come out."
"Like eggs in the kitchen," Sophie said.
"Well, just like that, only birds come out of these, and birds don't come out of the ones in the refrigerator. You were in an egg once, in your mommy's tummy."
She gasped and put her hands up to either side of her face. "Don't eat me! I am a kid! Zombies don't eat me!"
It's always about the zombies with the little squirt.
