Watching Clara play "house" with chess pieces. The king & queen are the mommy & daddy and all the rest are their babies. She was laying them all up together in a circle and talking to them so gently. And the babies would cry and she'd put them next to their parents to snuggle and they were loving each other. And then Clara said "I'm sorry to tell you but your parents have to go away now. I'm sorry to tell you but they're dead."
I had been sitting here marveling at how chess pieces can be "poor man's" toys. And then travesty struck and I cracked up.
