Son: "Xanadu?"
Me: "Yes, Xanadu."
Son: "What's that?"
Wife: "The seventies. It's a movie from the seventies."
Son: "It's a movie?"
Wife: "Don't show him any clips."
Me: (to son) "I wouldn't do that to you, especially before you go to sleep. It'll mess with your dreams."
Son: "What is it exactly?"
Me: "Okay... ready?"
Son: "Yeah."
Son: "Musical... PLUS roller skating... PLUS Greek mythology... PLUS... old-school tap dancing."
Son: (laughs hard) "Any afros in there?"
Me: "There's probably an afro in there."
This...
this is what my family talks about at night.
Then...
we pray with and for each other.
(Thought I should throw that in there, too.)
