The Hermit Crab Passes

Theo's hermit crab, given to him almost two months ago*, has passed away. He never paid much attention to it, but I think, along with a fish at daycare, it is helping introduce him to death. "Why did the hermit crab die?" he asks. And that leads us into other conversations about us. A gentle introduction.

* Special credit for the commenter who guesses how many weeks a hermit crab can live without food or water.
