Elvis Radio

I got a new company car a week or so ago. It has many new features - storage underneath the backseat floor, a cold storage above the glovebox, oh yes and satellite radio. One would have thought had a satellite radio long ago since I am in the car alot. I love it. It does however bring up questions of life and death. Conversation with Vaughn last week -

Vaughn - "I want Vaughn radio - not mommy radio"

Mommy - "O.K. Let's find Vaughn radio" (I am hoping to avoid the kiddie channel)

After a few channels - no love music or top 40 we find the all elvis channel.

Vaughn - "Stop mommy - I like Vaughn music"

Mommy - "Elvis?"

We proceed to discuss Elvis and somehow I tell Vaughn Elvis is dead. (Although it is still up for some debate - depending on who you talk to)

Vaughn - "How did Elvis die?"

Mommy - "Too many pills - he overdose"

Vaughn - "Where is Elvis now?"

Mommy - "Heaven"

Vaughn - "Like Ben the Cow" ( Vaughn's only association with death is the cow who died in the Barnyard Movie)

Mommy - "Yes Ben and Elvis are in Heaven"

Vaughn - "I want to go to heaven"

Mommy - "You can go to heaven someday - but a long time from now"

Then I proceed to explain how if you go to heaven you can't come back home.

Now just rewind what I just wrote and go over the conversation 10 more times for 2 days straight! :)

Elvis will always live on... either on Earth or in heaven! So, I suppose we'll hear some Elvis songs at the Christmas Eve performance? REmember, no presents until the show.
