Once again I am amused and somewhat baffled by the way that our son (and I am sure many other 4-5 year olds) view their big world. We were on our way home from town the other evening. Shelby was getting a little frustrated from being in her seat for most of the evening. So in an effort to try and mask (read as drown out) the volume of the crying I had turned up the radio. There was a George Strait song on at that moment. Mommy asked Harlan if he knew who was singing. Of course he didn't, so she told him. That song ended and just as we were about to turn up the drive, Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire came on. So I asked Harlan if he knew who was singing now. He of course replied with "I don't know". I said "Johnny Cash". Harlan repeated that, then asked "Who's that?" So I tried to quickly explain. And I finished up with the fact that Johnny Cash had died. So Harlan said "He died?" I said "yes, he did." So of course, what's the next question he asks? Very simply...."So if he died, how is he singing that song?"
I never cease to be amazed.

I actually snorted after reading that. Too funny.
Ceci LOVES Johnny Cash. He even put out a kids album. We high recommend it.
