Washington is Dead?!?!

Me and Stephen were watching the new show on the History Channel called "America the Story of Us" the other day while Kensley was running around the room and playing. At one point in the show they were talking about George Washington and all of the sudden Kensley stops playing and this is the conversation that ensues:
Kensley: Is Washington a good guy?
Stephen: Yes, Washington is a very good guy. (He then starts rambling out a bunch of facts of why Washington is, in fact, a good guy).
Kensley: Oh! Washington is a good guy. Where does he live?
Me: (I just decide to go with the truth) He is dead. But it's okay, he died a while ago. (Stephen then starts rattling off dates of when he lived and died).
Kensley: OH NO! Washington is dead?!?!?!
Me and Stephen couldn't stop laughing, but Kensley was truly upset to discover that George Washington is, in fact, dead!
