Eden is obsessed with all things Mister Rogers, all the way down to Daniel Tiger. Today was Mister Rogers Day in his hometown, and the whole family made the trip out to meet Daniel and Katerina Kitty Kat. So I don't know if you guys know this, but Eden has a thing for older men. When she was first exposed to Daniel Tiger, she declared that she was going to marry Mr. McFeely, and they were going to live in the post office and sleep on top of the packages. After she met the real Mr. McFeely, I introduced her to the original Mister Rogers show. She now wants to marry Mister Rogers. She also wants to marry Santa, but I'll save that story for a Christmas post. Check back later. Clearly, though, she has a type.
Anyhoo, as Eden and I walked to the bouncy house section, she asked me where Mister Rogers was. I froze, because she is three and I haven't really explained death to her yet, and I couldn't let her first lesson be about her future husband. You bet your sweet grandma that I lied my face off. I told her he wasn't there because he was resting. He was tired from making all those TV shows, and he wanted to be ready for her the next time she watched him on Netflix. Of course she trusts me and believed all that garbage. I know when I die and run into Mr. Rogers, he's going to gently let me know he's disappointed.
