Slade and the kids were flipping through youtube on Netflix last night waiting for me before watching a movie. Somehow they found this "innocent" little clip:

But, little did we know it would do poor little Sawyer in for they next 24 hours. He started crying and was inconsolable. We talked through some of the emotions with him after he went to bed. But he was still processing the feelings this morning and didn't want to get out of bed because he was still upset. Somewhere along the day he decided the kiwi must have landed in water and thus, survived. He knows it is just a story, but he just can't get over the cute bird dying.
I never thought we'd be have existential discussions with an 11 year old.

Ahhh Sawyer! I feel the same. I finished watching it and though, the Kiwi must still be "flying!!" Or soaring above the trees like the other birds!!
Umm, sad.
Nicely timed with Easter, though . . . ?
It's that song! It makes anything sad. I'm sure he skimmed to a stop on a nice pond somewhere.
