" The problem with life, mummy, is that it just goes on and on".
Glances exchange between me and Mr H.

I would have thought life eternal was not a bad thing for a child to contemplate - particularly as most small children think they are immortal anyway. I don't think he has a problem with life in general, I just think he finds the circle of life, well, a little too uncomplicated for his liking. He'd prefer something more flanimal-esque, he's rather touched by Ricky Gervais' spin on things.
