Maybe we’ve been here before.. A strange moment in parenting

I have a giant electric mural of New York City. I purchased it in 2001 from Spencer Gifts, prior to the World Trade Center attacks and back when Spencers was actually in my local mall (with lots of other stores that are now closed), so the twin towers still proudly lurk in the background..

I recently found the plug to the photo and turned it on tonight for my son to see..
Ayden Morris looked at it, as a 2 and a half year old would.. He gazed at it for a bit, and said in his half-toddler-talk, ‘No planes in that house,’ the pointed to the walls that surrounded us, and said ‘I live in this house.’
I would be remiss if I did not document this for the purpose of my own memory and the fact it was beyond eerie, and beyond strange.

BUT!!!

This weird potential past life regression is explainable I believe–with  logic and patience I have successful cracked the mystery. Only a few minutes prior to this moment when Ayden made a strange reference to airplanes, I was explaining airplanes to my son and mentioned something to the effect that they fly high in the sky because if they didn’t, they would hit into houses. So, as child sponge would, he absorbed that knowledge and kept it. I think.
Maybe.

I think I’ll just go with that. If not I’d be driven crazy by the possibilities of reincarnation ..
With my explanation, I can sleep soundly.

I think.
