Dead Teacher

Continuing Reagan's obsession with death, last night she told us that one of her teachers had died. I was very surprised, so I asked her who, and she answered, "Miss Jessica."

Miss Jessica is one of her teachers who was out on maternity leave for a few weeks, but I believed I'd seen her this week, so I told Reagan I didn't think that was true. She insisted it was.

This morning, when we walked past the infant room at daycare, I noticed Miss Jessica in there. I said, "Reagan, Miss Jessica's right there, and you told me she was dead."

Reagan said, "I know. She died when she had her baby, but she came back to life."

Jenny explained to me that Reagan thinks that everyone dies when they have babies because she watches Star Wars: Episode 3 with Lee and Queen Amidala dies after she has her babies. I stopped on my way out and told Miss Jessica that Reagan had told me she had died and come back to life, so she went down the hall to give Reagan a hug and let her know that she's still alive.
