He's not a rock star...

Yesterday I was watching a few neighbor kids for their mom while she was packing and finishing up cleaning for their move. Their oldest is a girl who is about 61/2 years old. She was really fascinated with Casey's guitars so I told her she could touch them gently and listen to the strings. She asked why we had so many guitars, a question I have often asked as well. I told her that they all belonged to Casey and that he played. She asked again why they were different and just some more general questions. Next she asked what we did with all those guitars (there were three sitting in stands and another guitar shell without the strings). Josiah had an answer for her which was so funny I wish I had a video recording of it. Here's how it played out:

A: What do you do with all those guitars?
Josiah: Well, my dad plays them. He's not a rock star, but he plays them all.
A: A rock star?
Josiah: No, he's not a rock star kind of player. But, he is a cheer leader.
Me: Daddy's not a rock star?
Josiah: Well, not really a rock star, just the cheer leader kind.
Me: (trying not to laugh to hard) Josiah, what's daddy do?
Josiah: (very seriously) He's a cheer leader.
Me: (laughing hard) Josiah, do you mean a worship leader?
Josiah: Oh yeah, a worship leader. But that's not really a rock star right?
