Silas asked me today, in his thoughtful way, "Does everybody die?"
I answered with some standard mom reply, probably something like, "Yes, most people die when they're old and some people die when they're younger, but everyone dies."
Silas wanted further clarification: "Do even people who own grocery stores die?"
I guess maybe to him, control of the bagels and goat cheese and ice cream is the ultimate in power.

I'm wondering where he came across the concept that somebody owns a grocery store? I'm remembering a similar age Bear incredulous that her new father was a teacher: “That’s funny. Teachers can’t be fathers!”
Silas is a deep one!
Or, possibly, he’s hoping to inherit a grocery store (all the ice cream and bagels and goat cheese will be MIINE! ha ha ha!) and is just making sure that this is possible.
