Baby brother learns about death

[my two year old brother to the cow skull on our fence]

brother: What happened to the eyes?

me: They went away when it died

brother: Did daddy shoot that it?

Dad: No, daddy didn't shoot that one.
        It died in the prairie

brother: It died? It fell down?

Dad: Yeah, it fell down.

brother: (looks at the skull and pets it)
             Is it going to be okay?

Dad: Yeah, it'll be okay.  There's nothing wrong with being dead.
