There is a beauty of a punchline at the end. It went like this. Me (Michaela/Mother/Wife) "Okay, you're right, that is what makes Elvis special. Why is Jesus special?"

Me "Do spirits get born and have mummy's" Gareth "Yes" Me "okay, you are right. Do spirits wear diapers?" Me "So Jesus was God and a person. That is what makes him so special. And *that* is why we celebrate his birthday" Gareth "Yeah, just like Hercules!!!" My “devout catholic” mother was less impressed with the rest of the story.
