Line 8:
Death is a difficult enough matter for adults to deal with. It's no surprise, then, that children find it especially painful when they meet death for the first time. It's easy to imagine how upset they'll feel if, when one of their grandparents or a beloved family pet dies, even the grown-ups cry.

* In an early ''[[Dick Van Dyke Show]]'' episode "Never Love a Duck" this happened (partially [[Off Screen]]). Rob brought home two baby ducks that were used in an "[[Show Within a Show|Alan Brady Show]]" sketch and Richie raised them. Cut to a few months later - one is dead and the other is dying. Rob explains to Richie that no matter how much he loves it, it's not enough for it to survive. They have to release it into the wild. ([[Fridge Logic|How a duck raised by humans will cope in the wild isn't discussed.]])
