Real life conversations...

Today, we were listening to a CD by the Gettys in our van. Aidan really wants to understand the concept of radio and CD's, and the difference between the two, but at age 4 it's a little out of his grasp.

Aidan: Mom, when they made this CD, were they trying to make it sound like it really did in real life?
Mom: What???
Aidan: Well, were they trying to make it sound like it really sounds?
Mom: Um, well, they sang these songs and recorded this CD. Do you mean does it sound like they sounded when they came to our church?
Aidan: Yes, did they make this CD to be like they sang at our church?
Mom: They had already made the CD when they came to our church.
Aidan: Why??
Mom: I don't know, I didn't ask them...

Then later: (about the same CD)
Aidan: Is this another one of their CD's?
Mom: No, this is the same one.
Aidan: Well, is this the one with the wedding in it?
Mom: What????
Aidan: Well they got married.
Mom: I have no idea what you are asking.
Aidan: Grandma said there was a wedding.
Mom: Maybe she was talking about last night. There was a wedding at church last night.
(And Aidan saw Grandma last night at my school concert.)
Aidan: How was that a wedding? I thought that was called a concert.
Mom: Yes, we were at a concert. But there was a wedding going on at our church.
Aidan: Why?
Mom: Well, two people wanted to get married, and they picked yesterday.
Aidan: Why?
Mom: Oh look, we're at Tom Thumb now!
