a fitting conversation for today

Today's Aaron's birthday.  I've been thinking of him all week.  Yesterday this conversation occurred and I thought it was fitting to post today...

C: Mommy, what rhymes with "like"?
Me:  Hmmm...Mike!  That's actually Grandpa's name.  Mike is short for Michael.  It's also Finn's middle name, but we say Fintan Michael.  But you could say Finn Mike for short I guess.
C: Like Aaron's name.
Me: (I was confused as to what he was talking about because I didn't think he knew that Aaron's middle name was Michael.)  Aaron who?  What Aaron are you talking about? 
C:  Uncle Aaron.
Me: How did you know that his middle name was Michael?  
C: 'Cause I saw him when I was a baby I think, before he lived with Jesus.  I'll show you.  (He ran off to the playroom to get a book that has a picture of Aaron holding Callan as a baby.)  See, Mommy!  I told you so.  Uncle Aaron held me as a baby.  I knew him.


I guess we must have said at one point that his name was Aaron Michael and Callan obviously remembered! 

Happy Birthday, Aaron Michael!
