It was remembrance day and when Ashir came back from school he had a poppy sticker on his shirt.
"So what happened today at school"
"Nothing" - Standard answer when he doesnt want to talk, his eyes were set on his toys
"Where did you get this sticker then?"
"Oh this was given at the assembly"
"Assembly?"
"Yes, the teacher told us about soldiers"
"Soldiers?"
"Yes, when soldiers die they go to war"
"What?"
"And when we die we all go to the same place"
"What, did your teacher tell you this?"
"Yes and then teacher gives us this sticker"
"Oh OK"
"But mommy?" - came a puzzled look on his face
"What is a soldier?"
