Raising Children And The Dead

(My husband and I are babysitting my four-year-old niece and three-year-old nephew, who is a redhead. In the process of playing, both my husband and I are ‘killed’ and return as zombies.)

Husband: “Braaaaaains!”

(He catches my nephew, and pretends to take a bite.)

Husband: “Bleugh! Tastes like carrots!”

Niece: “No, [nephew]! Shoot zombie in a head, like this!”

(She proceeds to ‘shoot’ both my husband and myself in the head with a plastic gun. We fall down ‘dead’.)

Niece: “See? Zombies all dead!”

Husband: “What are we teaching these children?”

Me: “All the best survival skills!”
