[SIDENET]

[Sender]

"You mean Daddy's in the heater, Mommy?

"No, sweetie, Daddy's in Heaven."

"Is he messing with the thermostat in Heaven, Mommy?"

(laughs) "No, dear, Daddy is providing renewable energy instead of becoming greenhouse gases. Well, I suppose he's still becoming...let's not talk about it, OK?"
