On another point, this is why I think everyone should have a grandparent and a pet...
... it should be that your pet dies, so you learn about death and all that. Then you granddad dies which is a lot worst but still understandable. Then your parent dies, which is even worst soo, but you're now used to it so it's OK.

'cus let's face it, Lion King might be rented out at Blockbusters.

0o0o0o0o0oh, yeah', that's how I'd do it.
Get him to watch The Lion King, let walt disney do all the hard work, and then at the end say "You know grandpa, yeah'? Well, same thing, innit".

This isn't a bad idea if you do it less foreseashusly.

Hopefully at the funerial, as he inexplicity sees all these people he knows crying, sees his aunty and uncles trying to be brave and not cry, seeing everyone biting their upper lip and trying to be british about the whole thing...
... knowing that something is lost, but not quite sure knowing what. Only understanding that they'll be one less person around the table at christmas dinner, one less pressent under the tree. Knowing that when he turns 18 they'll be a few quid for him that might pay for him to go to Uni, but thinking that uni would be horrible, just like school. Wondering why he has to wear his big-boy clothes....etc....

All he'll be thinking is. "It's our problem free, philosphy, Hakuna Matata.".
