Cheannaigh muid ár gcéad (agus gan ach) "luxury" car back when hurricane Floyd nailed the east coast of the U.S. We got a LOT of rain here in New Jersey and roinnt laethanta a rith before life returned to normal. Just before Floyd struck, rinne muid tairiscint le haghaidh Volvo úsáid 850 GL agus tar éis Floyd bhuail, thiomáin sé abhaile.

It was our first car with a CD player. Like most new car owners, chuaigh muid ar CD dÚsachtach beag, revived our dormant CD collection and went on long drives just to listen to CD’s in the car. Like all fads, this passed for us and we ended listening to the same CD over and over again. I ár gcás, go raibh sé Íosa Críost Superstar.

Ceann de na (go leor) píosaí iontach sa mhéid is go ceoldráma carraig á chanadh ag na cineálacha foras crábhaidh, faoi ​​stiúir Caiaphas, the "High Priest". They sing their way into deciding how to handle the "Jesus problem" and Caiaphas directs them to the conclusion that "Jesus must die". The refrain on the song is "Just must die, Ní mór bás, Ní mór bás, this Jesus must die". You hear that refrain a lot in that piece.

Ag an am, my son was about three years old. You can probably see where this is going.

I came home from work one day and my son is in the living room playing with toys and humming to himself. I’m taking off my jacket, breathnú tríd an ríomhphost agus go léir mo siúlóid-an doras-i-is gnách stuif agus realize mé go tobann go bhfuil sé ag rá go díreach, Ní canadh i ndáiríre: "Jesus must die, Ní mór bás, must die." I was mortified. I could just see him doing that while on one of his baby play dates at a friend’s house — probably the last play date with that baby friend.

We pulled that CD out of the Volvo after that 🙂
