Driving home from Tee Ball yesterday, Sam kept asking about the part in Elmopalooza with "carry the seasons". Pete said he didn't remember anything like that. And if Pete doesn't remember, there is no chance that dad will remember. So after dinner we watched Elmopalooza again.
It turns out that it was the part where Oscar asked if anyone had any pepper and Bert said he had some in his pocket. Then they were all giving Bert strange looks and he said "what, you don't all carry around your own seasonings?". Once we figured this out, it took a while to explain to Sam, as you can imagine.
I was reminded of the time we were listening to a song on the radio called "This Aint a Scene, It's an Arms Race". Pete kept asking what an Arms Race is. You would be surprised how difficult a concept that is to explain. Maybe next time I will just send him to Wikipedia, which is how anybody learns about anything anymore. By the way, explaining Arms Race is only half the battle, because you still have to explain what is meant by the title "This Aint a Scene, It's an Arms Race".
