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.

Brings up an interesting idea for an article... at what age do you address death? When do they go to a funeral?
