Bye Mr. Greenie

We don't know why, but Mr. Greenie died two days ago.  We wanted to make sure he was dead before we waited to bury him.  Collin had the idea to make a cross with the two popsicle sticks.  He took one of them and wrote "Mr. Greenie" on it.  He wanted to bury Mr. Greenie and found a spot in the front flower bed near a tree.  I dug the hole and he placed Mr. Greenie in it.  I said a few words and then Collin said, "By Mr. Greenie.  Glad you got to play with your friends for a few days.  I am really sorry you died."  That was it.  He seemed to be fine after that.
