CSI: Brookline

Dina has recently expressed an interest in dead bodies. To be precise, she has reiterated her interest.

“Why do dead bodies interest you, Dina?”
“You know, because you can look at the bones, and the blood and stuff. I’d like to study dead bodies some day.”
“They do that in medical school.”
Excited face.
“And I could figure out how they died by testing their blood.”
“Oh, you want to do toxicology. Like, figure out if they were poisoned or something?”
Very excited face.
“Yeah. And what it was and how much there was.”
“There are some tv shows you should probably watch, Dina.”

    I’ll agree with Matthew here, but only because it would fit your parenting style:
    “And that’s why you talk to them like they’re real people and not babies.”
