Gross, Isn't It?

Adam was recalling an incident the other day when they discovered a dead bird in the backyard.

Mum, you know, mama (my mum) was on the deck yesterday and then she went on the grass and she saw a dead bird. She was going to touch it with her foot and I said "no, don't touch it", but she did.

Really?

Yes, she did. Gross, isn't it?

Again, his vocabulary stupefied me!
