"We should get her back."

Conversation with Jack:

"Your mom is dead, Mommy?"

"Yes, Jack. She is still dead."

"Were you in her uterus like I was in your uterus?"

"Yes, Jack. Everyone was in a uterus before they were born."

"Your mom is dead."

"Yes, Jack, she is."

"We should get her back."

"Back from where, honey?"

"Where is she, Mommy?"

"She's buried in Thailand."

"We need to get on a plane and get her."

"We can't, honey. She's dead. Once you're dead, you stay that way. No one can make you alive again."

"I'm sad."

"Me too, honey."
