So, my little cousin, who is 4 years old, knows all the words to the song "Take me home country roads" by John Denver, and she sings it like all the time. Once, when grandma was visiting some relatives in West Virginia, my cousin told everyone she knew that Grandma was in heaven...they all thought she died....really my cousin was just referring to the opening line of the song- "Almost heaven, West Virginia..."
She thought West Virginia was really heaven!!
