Dia De Los Muertos

Setting: Max and Emma are watching Handy Manny on TV (Disney cartoon about a handyman that speaks both English and Spanish). The subject this episode was Halloween as well as the Mexican holiday Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) honoring people who have passed away.

Max: "I don't want Omi (Grandma) to die. I like her!"
Emma: "Oh Max, don't worry. Omi is too young to die. She has to be old like Oma (Great Grandma, still alive at 93) before she can die."
