This is actually my son's. I must preface it but saying that he and I have strange senses of humor and have always innocently goofed around with each other. There are 13 years between him and his only sibling (an older sister) and this occurred before there were so many weird horrid crimes against children. When he was about 8 or 9, he was going through an very inquisistive stage, continually questioning everything. He was driving me nuts. After a long day of questions, he asked my how come there were no siblings between him and his sister. I said, You had a brother but he's buried in the back yard for asking too many questions. After that, every now and then I would see him walking in the back yard just randomly looking around.
