Daddy, make a picture

True conversation…

In the van, me and the boy. Playing - Serge Gainsbourg “Aux Armes et Caetera”

M. J., this CD was made by a man from France who liked Jamaican music

J. Daddy, who is from France?

M. Well, you remember Great-Grandpa Harry? His mother and father were from France and they came here a hundred years ago.

J. Where are they now?

M. (hemming and hawing over the ‘D’ word)… Well, remember when we talked about how sometimes when people get very old and sick they go to live with God? Your great-great grandparents are with God now too.

J. Oh.

a few minutes later…..

J. Daddy, where IS God?

M. God is everywhere…..

J. And where did he come from?

M. Jeremy, there are somethings even grown-ups don’t understand…. and that is one of them.

J. Oh, like this music?

Now playing on iTunes: Vieille Canaille from the album Aux Armes Et Caetera (Disc 1) by Serge Gainsbourg
