So, my child (nearly 3 years old) is music crazy. As odd as this may be (maybe not), her four favorite things in this world are The Beatles, Nirvana, The Rolling Stones, and Michael Jackson.

It occurred to me that she doesn’t have any experience with religious iconography, but she loves the Heart Shaped Box video.

So I thought, for fun, let’s show her a picture of a cross and ask her what it is.

“NIRVANA! It’s Nirvana!” (Forvana actually).

I’ve been laughing my ass off.

I have raised multiple children from two generations now and none of them have had the burden of religion. Thank…god? :p

I’m not sure about the Beatles. Only thing I can really say is that my grandmother was from Pasadena, drove like a madwoman and was indeed quite little.

I wouldn’t call her a lady, though. She was the first person I ever heard swearing. She worked in a hospital billing department and called up a surgeon who was insisting on high bills. She bitched him out until he dropped his rates to something “reasonable”.
