Let's just chalk this up to "It seemed like a good idea at the time."
Thursdays is church band practice for DW and Amelia. My job is to walk Audrey and keep her entertained. Tonight we tagged along to the church since we ate out right before, and the church is not very far to the cemetary my Dad's side of the family is buried.

So I get the great idea to walk on over with Audrey while practice is on and visit the grave where some family is. No problem. Audrey kind of has an idea about death etc. and I try to explain the concept of a cemetary to her.
right now I should have realized I was digging myself deep
Okay, we get there and sort of walk on in. Surprisingly, it's not fully gated, you can walk right in where the church is (really surprising, since some graves/stones there are almost 200 years old. Early 1800s) Shortly past the old section is the family plot. Audrey is asking question after question about where the people are etc.
Danger! Danger! Not scared though even as it is slowly going to dusk. I show here the monument and explain the people on them (My grandparents from dad's side, aunts and uncles including my favorite uncle who passed on 11 years ago) Audrey then went on a ROLL with questions, still wondering where the dead were.:
Me: This is where Papa's Mom and Dad are
Audrey: Where's Papa?
Me:....Well not here yet, he's still alive.
ABORT ABORT
Me:This was an uncle who dies as an infant
Audrey: Why did the baby die?
Me: ...umm I don't..know?

I wasn;t there. But doctors and medicine wasn;t as good back then, it just happens
Just point out squirrels dumbkoff!
Audrey: If I am dead can I come here?

Me: Let's not have that happen, okay?
Audrey: Can we dig down and see them?
Me: ..............

Me: Time to head back!
Audrey: Who else can we see here?
Audrey : There are a lot of people living here..
Me: Well...not really....
DW afterwards knowing I would have said hi and talked to the "kinfolk": How is H (my uncle's nickname) doing?
Me: Well, he hasn't gotten any better yet.
Talked to Dad afterwards, he was rolling on the floor about this, wishes he was there to hear it. That kid is a goofball. But I wasn't ready to explain some of this to a 4 year old.
