Hearing your Own Voice

Scene: Leaving McDonalds parking lot. They Might Be Giants, Here Come the One, Two, Threes is in the CD player.

HRH: Mommy, can start this song over again?

Gremlin: This song makes me feel dumb.

Manic Mommy and HRH simultaneously: First of all, Gremlin...

(MM stops to listen to HRH's reasoning)

HRH continues: ...that doesn't even make sense. Secondly, no one will ever think you are dumb. And third, Mommy doesn't like hearing you say that."

Thank you, HRH. I couldn't have said it better myself.

lol. Good for HRH! Most excellently articulated, indeed! I didn't know They Might Be Giants had a kids' CD.. cool. I love TMBG.

I like TMBG, too. Used to listen to them in high school all the time.
Oh dear, I guess I'm dating myself...

Isn't it nice to see evidence that they're listening to what you're saying?
