chatting in the car... about classical music, and how the radio works

Driving on Sunday.

E: My want some music please.
Mama: Okay. (and I turn on a radio folk rock station)
E: My want something calm.  My want violin and piano music, Mama.
Mama: Okay. (and I change the dial to our local classical station where they are announcing the next piece.)
Music begins.
E: My hear violin.
Mama: That's a cello.
E: Where the piano?  (piano begins shortly after this.)
E: My hear the piano behind the cello.  Now my hear the violin behind the piano.
(And he was totally right!)


He has such an ear!!  I love the fun conversations we have.  :)


After the piece is over he starts chatting again.
E: Mama, how music get in cars?
Mama: That's a very good question.
E: My think there buildings with big poles. Lotta people work machines in the buildings.  The people make the machines go on and turn the machines off for music in cars.


I ask J about this when we get home.  Apparently E was asking him about how radio worked about 6! months ago and J gave him a very general answer.  E's explanation seems to be what he remembered from J talking to him about it way back when!!!

So interesting!!

name change... ;)

For the record Eli now wants to be called:
