One of Sebastian's new songs is "Get on board". I was pretty sure that it is a slave spiritual and was explaining to Sebastian how it sounds like a happy song but in reality had hidden meanings for slaves to pass around without being punished. It was a teachable moment.
Me: You remember what a slave is, right?
Seb: Yup
Me: a person who is owned by someone else. They can be forced to do things; even their children are owned.
Seb: I know, I know. Just like Santa's elves.
