Having trouble getting the point of morality through to Van. Unfortunately he's interested in the idea of dying, but it's hard for me to get the gravity of the circumstance across to him.
Van: "Hey this is my puppy, except he died." (Van is holding a stuffed pillow with a picture of a dog on it.)
Me: "Oh no! what happened?
Van: "Well he was squished by a t-rex."
Me: "oh no, that's terrible."
Van: "Well it's ok, we'll just buy a new one."
Me: "You can't really buy a new one, because each puppy is an individual."
stop.
think.
Van: "Guess what? I don't live in this world."
Me: "You don't! what world do you live in?
Van: "I live in a world where when your puppy dies you can buy a new one and there's more and more and you never run out!"
hmm that wasn't really the point...
