Megan performing the Thriller danceas Michael Jackson blares on the radio.
Lisa: Can you believe it has almost been a year since he died?
Megan: HE DIED?!?
Lisa: Oh, uh yes. About a year ago.
Megan: (sad voice) I didn't know that.
Lisa: Yea, and he was like the greatest pop artist of our* time.
(trying to change the subject since I just brought
the topic of death into a conversation with a 9 year old)
Megan: Yea I know.
Minutes pass :: Megan thinking
Megan: Well... actually.... he was more like the third greatest.
Lisa: (can see where this is going) Oh really, who is the number one and number two?
Megan: Well, first is probably the Jonas Brothers.
And then Miley Cyrus.
Then Michael Jackson.
Lisa: Oh, that's true.
I mean, who was I to argue?
My mistake in this conversation was definitely
making the assumption that "our" time was concurrent.
