3:54 pm June 7, 2011What happens when I leave the house for an hour…My son invites the neighbor kids over. He then directs them in films… …this particular film being boys beating each other up to Justin Bieber songs. (in case you didn’t catch it, the first kid is supposed to be Justin Bieber, and the second kid is supposed to be Justin’s ex-girlfriend.) (my son is behind the camera… I’m not sure if that’s better or worse.) 12:51 pm October 23, 2010Music Appreciation: Luckily Geddy’s not dead, or he’d be spinning in his graveA conversation on music appreciation. Time: 10:30pm on a school night (bad mom). Place: the car, while going from gas station to gas station looking for cinnamon bears to smuggle into Jon in his hospital room. Me: Let’s get some music on. Jachin: I hate all music. Unless it doesn’t have words. Me: Are you kidding? Jachin: No. Words are dumb. Me: … *Epic music starts* Jachin: This isn’t bad… *words start* Jachin: Augh! Words! Nevermind, this stinks. Zoe: Is this Lady Gaga? Me: … What? Zoe, repeating slower because she thinks her mother is slow in the head: Is this Lady Gaga? Me: Uhhhh, no. This is a guy. Zoe: It’s a guy? Jachin: Haha! You thought this was a girl! Me, to Jachin: Do you know who this is? Jachin, sheepishly: … No. Me: *sigh* This is Rush, guys. The guy singing is Geddy Lee. And listen, Rush has arguably the best drummer ever. *I decided not to into the whole Neil Peart versus Alex Van Halen thing, because, you know, one thing at a time.* Jachin: Rush… Why does that sound familiar…? Me, knowing where this is going: Because Rush also does YYZ. Jachin: Oh, right! From Guitar Hero… Me, trying not to cry over the fact that all of my firstborn’s knowledge comes from video games: Right. Zoe, still seemingly confused: Wait, soooo… this isn’t Lady Gaga? And then, mercifully, I pulled into Macey’s and ran into the bulk food section for cinnamon bears, distracting me from the fact that I’ve found yet another way I’ve kinda failed my children. *sigh* Lady Gaga… Class dismissed. 7:44 pm October 18, 2010The longest countdown everthree, four, three, four, three, four, three… (he did this approximately 136 times tonight… and is now ready for bed.) |
