He's a goner...

A few weeks ago a lady in our church gave Kaden a baby bird egg that she found to take care of. She told him to be careful with it and he was. He handled it with care and we put it in a pot outside. He has checked it often but I had to dispose of it the other day because it started getting rotten. Today while he was outside with me he went to check on it and asked where it was. I said " it must have hatched and flew away". He looked at me with a I am not buying it look and said "baby birds need a mommy when they hatch and can not fly. He was a goner". He was fine with his conclusion and went on playing. I guess he is ok with the circle of life.
