The story sounds very interesting. Maybe you should ask him if the people that gave him the information was someone that you know, or were they a man
or a woman, or did they come from somewhere else.
That’s part of the problem. First of all, my son is one of those people that loves to have a secret. His favorite games are hiding my keys and crude
magic tricks. It’s all about making you guess and him deriving satisfaction from something that he knows but you don’t. Trying to get him to tell
you a secret is like chewing bricks.
He was at a birthday party yesterday, coincidentally for the one cousin that would survive, at which I was not present. However, I know his uncle and
cousin. The whole family, while good people, are not that sophisticated. The dinner conversations invariably revolve around how many deer they shot
and who can make the best jerky and what’s the best place to buy truck tires. I’m hard-pressed to believe that any one of them would have brought
this sort of topic up. Could be, but I doubt it.

By the way, what state do you live in? Are you near the ocean shore, or inland?
We live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Far from the ocean. But like I said, his blanket statements of “everywhere” and “everyone” are not the
same as you or I would use them. My guess is that he meant a whole lot of people would be wiped out by water. But not everyone – even though what he
said implied that. Remember, he’s 3. A lot of his wording is not that precise.

How old does you son think he is going to be when it occurs? Will he be young, old, in school? Will he have a younger brother or sister when this
all occurs, and if so will they survive also.
That’s a good question and I will have to get him later – he is out visiting grandma for Mother’s Day. Wish I had thought of that earlier.

Ice cream or some other favorite kind of treat may make him tell you more while you are interogating him. Good luck.
HA! Good idea, but, like I said; he loves to play ‘I know a secret’. It may work but he’s already been loaded up with cake from yesterday and
he’ll probably get more today at grandma’s house. I’ll have to put him on a diet of broccoli and baked chicken for a few days to soften him up.
