[Looking through a book with old G.I. Joe toys in it with CT, soon-to-be 7-year-old and HT, soon-to-be 5-year-old]
CT: Did you have that?
Dad: No. It was really expensive. My friend Jason had it though.
CT: Oh. Is Jason dead?
Dad: Wha… what do you mean?
CT: Your friend Jason. Did he die?
Dad: I don’t think so. He was my age. Hell, his birthday was ten days after mine.
[Beat.]
HT: I think he’s probably dead.
