I was sitting down for lunch with Josh when he brought up Elvis Presley.
He had been interested in the celebrity ever since he saw an impersonator at a cabaret while on holiday two years ago. The current air-time dedicated to the thirty years since Elvis' passing has once again piqued some wonder in the child.
'How did Elvis die?' He asked me.
Stumbling for a correct answer to give a child I just said he fell asleep when he was sitting on the toilet and the angels came to take him away.
'He couldn't have died of old age, though. He was young.' Was the response I got totally making more sense than my angels coming to take him away theory. I had to think of a perfect reply.
And out came something even worse.
'God wanted to have a concert so he got the angels to collect him.'
I think he accepted that answer but I could still see the little lad sitting there trying to think of more Elvis related questions.
