~BEEP~

After listening to this all morning (with headphones, because no-one needs to hear Cat sitting along with it) this version cracks me up - who decided it would make good prime time TV? Maybe the person who does the beeps was bored and needed a challenge.
(No language warning needed, it's nicely beeped and dropped out for your convenience)





Listening to music with kids around can be a challenge. You were always really good at remembering which words shouldn't be repeated in front of teacher, grandparents et al, but Cam is a bit more of a challenge. A few weeks ago his teacher caught him teaching other kids in the class how to spell f-u-c-k. When she first told me (in a spelled-out stage whisper - pointless when we've already established he knows how to spell it) I couldn't believe it - he'd never shown any aptitude for spelling before. Figured it best not to say that though, so I just shook my head like I had no idea where he could have possibly heard it. 


Then they get a little older, and you get to do the Live Music Sing-a-long Challenge
1. You're sitting next to your teenage daughter watching Ben Folds live at the Sydney Opera House. Do you sing along loudly all the way through this song?



(Answer: Fuuuuuuuuuck yeah!)

2. You're standing beside your teenage daughter watching Ani DiFranco at the Enmore Theatre. Firstly, Feminist Parenting WIN! Secondly, do you sing along loudly all the way through this song?


(Answer: Absobloodylutely, Sister!)

3. You drag your small-statured young adult daughter into the mosh at a Regurgitator gig (Are you CRAZY?!) Aside from the question of the large, drunk men making lewd comments and jumping around in her vicinity, do you sing along loudly with THIS song??


(Answer: I'm afraid so. Sigh.)

I'm just relieved they didn't play THIS.
