AM Gold

Pete and repeat is living at my house. My ball of fire repeats everything I say, sometimes as I'm saying it. Apparently this is not uncommon for a now 3-year old. But this weekend, he said shit, bitch and asshole at least once. I had to remind my visiting family -- or my mom and grandma (WTF!) -- that he repeats things.

This weekend, my sister said something that at the time seemed crazy. She mentioned that when she and my brother-in-law spend a lot of time in the car, she listens to the oldie's station. I gave her a lot of hell about it at the time since I am obviously the expert on all things music. (Yes, that was sarcasm.)

Today, we went to lunch with some friends and on the way there, we heard an Audioslave song that had the word fucker in it, and a Kid Rock song that included both bitch and pussy. Whoops, flip the station.

Then, on a whim, I flipped over to Oldies 95. We heard "Crazy Thing Called Love" by Queen and "Brandy" by Looking Glass. I made it a permanent button on the dial.

Considering that he usually wants to listen to Jack Johnson's "Curious George" soundtrack, I appreciate the variation. Jack Johnson makes me want to drive into oncoming traffic!

I told you...

"Song sung blue, weeping like a willow
Song sung blue, sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it get to feeling good
You simply got no choice"
