God got angry and killed them with plates

My kid makes me laugh so hard. I take Reyes out on a date the other night while Jose and Reyna are at the daddy/daughter dance. We decide on Pizza Hut and the mall. We have a lovely dinner with him doing his impression of the dancing zombies in the Thriller video. We then head to the mall. We hang out at the Hallmark store and listen to pretty much every musical card. He asks if he can listen to the card 'where God got angry and killed them with the plates. I so had no clue what this kid was talking about; the card showed a cartoon drawing a lady on stage, looking a little opera-esque I guess, holding a candleabra. I asked him what he meant. "You know mommy, God killed them with the plates" HUH???? I ask again what the heck he was talking about. "Remember we went to church and then came home and watched the Rugrats and he killed them with the plates" OK, we went to observe a Seder with Reyna's 6th grade religious ed class, then came home and watch Rugrats passover, so he could understand the story a little more (or I just really wanted to see it). Maybe, he was talking about the grandma and grandpa fighting about which wine glasses to use for the Seder, glasses are dishes, dishes, plates. I think I got.
I go home and ask Reyna if she knows what her brother might be talking about. Noop, she doesn't get it. I ask Jose, he explains it to me:
PLAGUES!!!!!!!
nice, well my kid sorta understood the story and I'm pretty proud of him.
