    Wait until you FINALLY get the concept across, and he understsnds, and THEN he hears the song “It’s raining men”.

    Then he’ll REALLY be confused!

      Interesting,

      If it’s raining outside and it’s raining men come from the same base concept… “It” has a definition closer to the current state of the environment around me. Though admittedly the still breaks slightly for it’s raining men.
