It just breaks your heart

From today’s Herald

Li was happily eating and taking everything everyone gave her. She prattled away: “A rock this big” - stretching her arms - “smashed Grandma in the eyes and nose. There was lots of blood. I called Grandma but she didn’t say anything.”

Where was Grandma now?

“She’s dead. What does dead mean?”

After a bumbled adult explanation, Li asked if Grandma would come back to make her some food. The first thing she wanted was some meat, then an apple and a banana.
