One of our terrapins died some weeks ago and my son cried for a few hours, then gave it a ceremonial burial with home made crucifix. Two days later, he decided to dig the terrapin up again to dry it out for the shell 
Human emotions are a wonderful bag of delights ....  |
It's just as well Moses hasn't got a shell...  |
He is really into skulls as well ....  |
somehow this doesn't suprise me.  |
Budding biologist! |
or budding serial killer |
... or Archaeologist (having dropped the desire to be a marine biologist after a recent face to face encounter with an octopus whilst snorkel-diving ).
Carl Jung (in his autobiography) describes this necessary stage of development as a healthy way to accept the curiosity of death and put it into rightful context.
Serial killers remain detached from this process as they are developing (or failing to) and take more interest in the "killing" process.
Have you read "We need to talk about Kevin" the disengaged American youth who kills several of his high school classmates?
(BTW The mummification process was meticulously recalled by son, from school history lessons when quizzed by our Guide at the Cairo Museum ).

Archaelogist is ok, esp. in a place like Cyprus (my second hobby).
Make sure he is not into 'head-shrinking' (Borneo style) |

Thank you for you kind words paphitis, Moses will be greatly missed and I am somewhat relieved (on hindsight) that I was not a witness to his demise.
Eliko.  |

another famous and favorite Winnie teh Pooh quote:
“If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.” |
