...Okay. I will grant you that. Ashes are even more dead than bones.
[The particulars of what kinds of dead people are the most dead is, maybe, not the best topic for discussing in a winter storm power outage, when the question of when the heat will kick back in is hanging over them. He can imagine his mum complaining about the topic so easily that he hesitates.
Or, it's the absolute perfect time. Take the fears and face them head on, making a game and joke of it all.]
But we have to draw a line somewhere. Once the bones are ash, or bone meal, and something's growing from them... it's gone all the way around back to alive again.
