My son had his best friend stay over Saturday night. I drifted off to sleep on the living room couch around midnight or so while watching Forensic Files. About 1:30am my son and his friend come racing out of his room and skid to a halt in front of the couch. My son starts shaking me, "Dad! Dad! Dad!, Wake up!" I came out of sleep much quicker than usual with nightmares of the house being on fire or something.
Me: "What's wrong guys?"
My son's friend, Cayden is now hopping around the room saying something about how both of them are going to be rich. My son says "Dad, we've figured out who shot JFK!"
Me: ".............................................Huh?"
"We figured out there's some lady wearing a red scarf and we think she pulled a pistol and shot JFK as he drove by her. We've been watching videos all night trying to see if we could get a better angle."
Me:"..................................Huh? That's awesome guys. Go to bed, it's late."
"Ok. But we're going to talk to you about this in the morning."
Me: "Sure, ok. (I'm stumbling toward the bedroom at this point)
My wife: (Half asleep) "Were the boys talking to you?"
Me: "'Yeah, they figured out who shot JFK. Said they'd explain it in the morning."
They never brought it up the next day. I asked them about it as they were eating breakfast, both seemed completely uninterested in the subject....weird.
