spending less time on EB and more time with a book
So DD 6 loves Katy Perry. I dont know thatmuch of her, except for her vid of her and Elmo and the song Firework, which I thought was not too bad. So I download her CD for DD and popped it in the cd player of the car yesterday. DD asks for peacock to be played. OMG parenting fail big time! The next thing I know, DD is singing along to a song I thought was about a bird, but its about some chick wanting to see whats in a blokes underwear. OK, me thinks Miss Perry better get packed away for a little while.

QUOTE (alaksuleiel @ 13/04/2012, 05:21 PM) My kids listen to metal. Even if the lyrics are bad, you can't tell 99% of the time So do mine, but they know the lyrics, and sing them, too. Doesn't matter so much now they're teen, but DS1 was a Linkin Park fan at age 6 Not that Linkin Park's language is anything by comparison to many metal bands. QUOTE (countrymel @ 13/04/2012, 05:31 PM) In 1979 friend of mine was on a family holiday when her older (teenage) sisters spotted Rod Stewart sunning himself beside the pool in a tiny wee pair of leopard print bathers... After much prompting they sent her (small and cute 5 year old see?) over to ask him for an autograph.... Noooooo.. bad call She decided to subject him to a full hip wiggling rendition of "If ya want my body and do you think I'm sexy...." etc etc.. Did she get the autograph?
