Today my seven year old daughter (Little "L") and I were discussing the difference between what "sisters in Christ" means versus how we are all genetically related and could be traced back to the "first woman Eve". (Older sister had dropped that hefty thought upon her)
So while trying to explain what genetics means and how everyone-in-the-world-is related, (no small task, mind you) she pauses, I think, to ponder the magnitude of what I have just explained, and finally says,
"I wonder what that makes me to Elvis?"
Yes, the world of a child's mind is magnificent.

You have totally got to remember this one! To think she could be related to Elvis, how exciting is that? Has she ever seen any of those goofy Elvis movies. There was one where he was on an island with a bunch of kids that I just loved as a kid (probably young adult--don't remember).
I remember that one! Wait, were'nt they ALL pretty much on an island with a bunch of kids!?
Take her to the restaurant that is on the side of Kmart. They have a whole wall of her relative Elvis.
