Daughter appreciation, cont.

[Dr_Evil_Mouse]

So I'm making my 8-year some late-night toast, and am humming to myself "Where you hiding...," to which she adds, "... in the nation...."

I give her the slack jaw "huh?" sorta look, to which she responds, "What?"

Messieurs Morrison et Burnside, you make good tunes!

[Calamity Jane]

Cassia and I groove to alot of DieselDog while hanging out in the kitchen....she knows more than that tune, hon!

I still hope and pray that in her teen years she doesn't become a metal head (or worse, embraces brittney spears) just to spite us. Tim and Jen -- you guys listening? When she gets unbearable, you guys will be expected to step in and straighten her out

"it takes a village...."

[aromatherapy]

Looking forward to meeting them!

no worries, deb. i'm pretty sure that if you have them humming dd at 8 years old, they're on the right track. and if the going gets weird, uncle tim & aunt jennifer will be there

you do have particularly cool kids....

It's a bit like the awe of hearing them when they first learned to communicate in words. I love how organically music has become part of them. I know people whose parents repressed all bodily responses to music in their kids from the youngest age (thankfully, they've overcome it), which is kind of like trying to stop grass from growing. Mind you, people do that, too. I pray I never get on the grass' case.

It is definitely an experience... seeing these young creative and open minds of ours bloom.

Wow, that is just not right.

I already have mine playing around with the piano, congas and dancing and she's only two and a half...

Wow, that is just not right.

And whaddya do. It's part and parcel of that old joke about people that don't have sex standing up because it looks too much like dancing.
