Another One Bites the Dust

The other day Alex and I were in the car and Queen’s Another One Bites the Dust was on the radio. Alex asked me what that meant. I told him it means that something or someone has died. He exclaimed, “Dust can kill you?!”

For the duration of the ride home, he provided a litany of who did and did not bite the dust:

“George Washington bit the dust.”
“Abraham Lincoln bit the dust.”
“Michael Jackson bit the dust.”
“Barack Obama didn’t bit the dust cuz he’s still a-life.” (We’re working on a-life vs. alive.)
etc.
etc.
