Daughter (6): Do trees have spirits?
Me (40): Well, they are alive. They’re plants.
Daughter: But do they have spirits?
Me: They don’t talk and think, like humans do.
Daughter: They must have spirits.
Me: Why?
Daughter: Because when they die, they go to paradise.
Me: Right. Yes.
….yes T., every living thing has a spirit, also trees, and they kind of talk (according to the latest science reports!) they rustle with their leaves etc – just listen to them! GM
