Theo has renewed his obsession with the Beatles after his daddy "gave" him an electric bass. It's pretty funny to watch Theo try to manage an instrument that's twice as long as he is. His favorite thing to do is lie on the beanbag and play along with Paul McCartney and his band. And I'm back to impersonating John Lennon -- Theo even requests that John reads his bedtime stories. Gives me plenty of time to perfect my British accent and say fun things like "blimey" and "bloke". Theo understands that John and George are dead and that Ringo and Paul are still alive. It has brought up interesting questions about death: "Mommy, where are John and George now?" (Answer: I'm not sure, honey, but I think they are still here in spirit.) "How can we talk to John when he's dead?" (Answer: I think he can hear you when you talk to him, honey.) "How did John die?" (Answer: He got very sick. I realize this is not true, but I'm not about to explain that he was shot by a crazy dude in front of his house. Way too scary.)
