Linkin' Valenties Day and Presidents' Day

Joshua always comes up with these doozy questions right before he falls asleep like "What is God anyway?" and "Why is the night sky black?" This one gets special mention:
On Valentines day Joshua got a five dollar bill from my father.

Joshua:"Who's this guy on the money?"
Judith: "It's Abe Lincoln - he was our president a long time ago - today is his birthday and we celebrate him because he was such an amazing leader."
Joshua: "Who's coming to his party?"
Judith: "He died a long time ago."
Joshua: "How did he die?"
Judith: "John Booth shot him."
Joshua: "What happened to John Booth?"
and the conversation kind-of went on like that.
Two days later:
Joshua: "Do Aliens exist?"
Judith: "Some people think so."
Joshua: "What do we think?"
Judith: "Sounds like you don't know what you think yet."
Joshua: "What do you think?"
Judith: "I think there are galaxies that we've yet to explore and there may be life on those Galaxies."
Joshua: "Are there Aliens on Earth?"
Judith: "I don't know Joshua."
Joshua: "I think there are and they are here to protect people like Abe Lincoln from people like John Booth."
Pause.....
Joshua: "I hope Obama doesn't get shot.... I think the Aliens are here to protect Obama...."
