During a recent trip to the National Museum of Natural History,
we came across an exhibit about the skeletons found at the Jamestown.
In case you aren't up on the news about Jamestown,
the skeletons confirmed a long held belief
that during the starving years, they cannibalized the dead.
I was explaining this to the Brat Child
(or rather I was discussing it with another adult when the Brat Child eavesdropped)
Brat Child: What's canon ball ism?
Me: It's where people eat other people.
We continued to another exhibit from Jamestown where the skeleton had an arrow point in his thigh bone.
The Brat Child was fascinated.
Me: You know, we can go to Jamestown when we go on vacation if you want.
Brat Child: Do they still eat people there???
