Beware children bearing books

Conversation in the back of the car:

Ethan: "I want to get out." Actually this was more like "get out" but I can translate.

Me: "You can't get out, we're driving."

Ethan: "I want to get out"

Hannah: "Do you want to get run over?"

Ethan: "Out"

Hannah: "Do you want to die?"

Ethan: "Out!"

Hannah: "Do you want to come home in a box?"

Ethan: "OUT!!!"

Me: "Hannah, where did you get that from?"

Hannah: "A book at nursery "Sunshine Cat" where the cat got run over and they put it in a box and the children all wrote in a letter and the box was buried."

Ethan: "OUT!!!!! OUT!!!!!"

If ever you come across the children's book Sunshine Cat, then beware. You will need tissues. It's so sad. Some of the nursery staff can't read it without blubbing.
