You've got to pay attention...

So, coming home from ToShinDo tonight, here's a synopsis of the conversation I had with Grace.

Background info: Grace has two friends named Rachel, both from preschool. One also goes to her school now, and goes to the same church we go to, so Grace sees her nearly daily. The other we see every year or so.

Coming up Raleigh Road:

G: "This song is Bring on the Dan!"
M: "Actually, Bring on the Dancing Horses" (we were listening to XM Radio)

(As we're driving past the Bell Tower):

G: "What road is Gimghoul Castle on?"
M: "Gimghoul Road"
G: "Where's that?"
M: "Near Playmaker's Theater"
G: "Where's that?"

I tried several ways to explain where that was. Finally I said:

M: "Do you know where Carolina Friends School is?"
G: "Yes"
M: "Near there"

She was satisfied with that, and we were quiet for a bit. Then:

G: "Rachel must hear SPOOOOOKY noises, then!"

I correctly interpreted this as a reference to Gimghoul Castle, but as the first Rachel that I think of is, oh, I don't know, the one she sees DAILY, I said:

M (quizzically): "Rachel?!?!?!"
G (Condescendingly): "Yes! She DOES go there!"
M: "What??? Oh, Rachel C!"
G: "Of Course! Rachel M. goes to MY school!"

I didn't even bother trying to explain, but just sat quietly. About 2 minutes passed, then:

G: "Here comes the R"
M: "What?"
G: "Here comes the R"
M: "Did you say here comes the R?? What does that mean?!?!?!?!"
G: "This song! It's called Here Comes the R!!!"

It was, of course, Eurythmics, Here Comes the Rain Again. I didn't even bother explaining.

She keeps you on your toes....
