My 5-year-old son says he wants to see the "Body Worlds" exhibit at the Milwaukee Public Museum. Someone told him about it at school, I tried to explain it to him a little bit more, and he generally seems interested. I think I will take him to the show at some point, but when we went to the museum earlier this week, I told him we weren't going to see "Body Worlds" on this particular visit. He said OK, and I thought that was the end of it.
However, whenever he saw a mannequin in one of the exhibits, he said, "Oh my gosh! Mom, is that a DEAD BODY?" Basically, he didn't understand the concept of the "Body Worlds" show at all, and instead thought the entire museum was adorned with corpses -- including the little old lady, rocking on the porch in the Streets of Old Milwaukee. "Look at that dead grandma," he said.
Sheesh.
