The kids found a dead bumblebee on the porch this morning.
They decided such a noble insect deserves a proper burial.
They named her Eleanor Margaret McFuzzerson and decided to conduct a proper burial service.
Just as Tash was drinking her coffee, I noted with excellent timing that it was a better name than Buzzy McBuzzface and predictable merriment and spewing of coffee ensued.
They then scooped up McFuzzerson and gave her a processional, set to the tune of Celine Dionne's My Heart Will Go On.
At the grave site they declared that Eleanor Margaret Mcfuzzerson had been a good bumblebee and had always flown surrounded with "Wuv, Twue Wuv" and had always been a good bumblebee doing an excellent job with pollen, and she was being buried with the hopes that in her next life she would be "w-ewarded by w-eturning in her next w-ife as a queen".
Yes, the funeral service was a perfect mash-up of Titanic and the Princess Bride.
The service completed, they buried her in the yard, complete with stones, flowers, and a suitable marker.
Who needs TV for entertainment when you've got kids?

Yep...the things the little ones can come up with are sure to bring a smile...
And a Princess Bride reference.
Well done.
Hey Aaron;
That was pretty good of your kids to do such a thing. It shows good parenting and kudo's to y'all for raising them.
Thanks for the chuckle, Aaron. Agree with the aforementioned parenting comments.
Enjoy them being kids while you can! :-)
