"he got dead"

ben has now had his first experience with death. the beta fish grandma gwenya bought him for his birthday has finally left this world. (i am convinced he has been suicidal for months.) scott did the honors of explaining death to ben. scott told him that the fish died so we need to flush him down the toilet then he can be with heavenly father. so when i came downstairs ben ran up to me and said, "he got dead mommy! flush down a potty. (then he folded his arms) heavenly father amen."  he handled the passing of our fish very well, but i think the flushing of the fish was more exciting than the sadness of his death.
