Now death has been commercialized...

So, TBM hadn't brought up Frederick since the day we explained that death was permanent.

She was talking with her grandparents on Skype and was telling them about her cats. She mentioned, Kess and Earl, and then she said Frederick...

But she stopped herself and said:

"Frederick died. Daddy taked Frederick to the dieing store."

I think that people who think that commercialism in our society has gotten out of control would love to know that a 2yo has internalized that death could be a commodity to be bought and sold.
