Okay, I remember what it was that I was going to write about yesterday, but due to my forgetfulness I… um... forgot.
Little Man has moved on from solely kids’ music. Friday afternoon of last week, Little Man embarked into the unknown world of non-kids’ music. It was a complicated turn of events, but I will relate them to you, as best I can. First, for variability’s sake, I will give you some background on what it is that Little Man listened to on a daily basis. Second I will give you a timeline that shows how these events unfolded.
Background: Little Man is a particular little beasty. He likes things how he likes them, and no other way. For the past year and a half, when Wifey takes him to his day care givers, he has listened to Songs from Jim Henson's Bear in the Big Blue House, and when I picked him up in the evening he listened to Laurie Berkner’s Buzz Buzz. For almost 235 of the past 550 or so days Wifey has endured Bear and I have endured Buzz Buzz. Little Man would not allow any other music to be listened to. He would not allow for there to be no music at all, and he was certainly opposed to us listening to NPR. For 235 of the past 550 or so days I had to listen to the same thing over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over over and over and over and over again. It was quite tiresome to say the least.
About 2 weeks ago, Little Man started “letting” Wifey listen to The Wiggles instead of Bear. So for 2 weeks Wifey has been close to an insane killing spree due to bad kids’ music, but Little Man showed a chink in his rigidity armor.
Timeline: all times are approximate
Friday 5:30 pm: Little Man and I are entering the Taco Bell closest to our house
Friday 5:33 pm: We have ordered and are getting our drinks from the self-serve fountain drink machine
Friday 5:38 pm: Our food is ready
Friday 5:40 pm: We are eating our food when a Moby song comes on
Friday 5:40.15pm: Little Man starts bobbing his head
Friday 5:41 pm: Other patrons of the Taco Bell take note of the dance stylings of Little Man
Friday 5:45 pm: Lenny Kravitz’s Fly Away comes on and Little Man really starts dancing in his seat
Friday 5:59 pm: We leave Taco Bell and get in the car
Friday 6:02 pm: I put in Weezer’s Make Believe
Friday 6:04 pm: Little Man is singing at the top of his lungs BEV Hill at at at to BEEEEEE!
The shackles of kid’s music have been released
To Recap:
Little Man likes “Weez” because Weezer has a strong base line and easily defined chorus that he can sing along with
Little is not a fan of the ballad
Cake varies their tempo too much for Little Man to get into it
Jamiroquai’s Virtual Insanity is also something the Little Man like as well
We are still sifting through our music libraries for things he might like
I think Tool maybe a bit adult for him yet
Unfortunately for Wifey, Ani drops the F-Bomb too much
I actually sent Weezer a “Thank You” e-mail
I have some poison ivy-ish rashes on my forearms
Teach me to weed around the airconditioner

Little Man has good taste, I love the wheezer song Keep Fishing. Feel sorry for you aving to listen to kids songs, at least it was Barney the purple dinosaur!
I unfortunately do not have that CD, but if his Weezer love continues, I will have to go get some of their older CD's.
oh girl when I'm in love with youuu
shoo-ahhh
keep fishing if you feel it's truuuee
shoo-aahh
there's nothing much that we can do
to save
you from
yourself
Little Man is going to loove it
And you will too, at first, though I suspect you'll end up hating it if Little Man proves quite so persistent as history seems to show
Go little man. Hopefully soon enough he will be ready to go out on the town and dance the night away in some cool club.
Let me know when that is. I plan on being his date. Promise it won't be awkward. Promise.

What the hell? Is your word verif out to get me?!
Little Man should love the Magnetic Fields and Morrissey. Buy CDs now and introduce him to them. It's never too soon to help him develop tastes that will ensure he never knows the horror of Top 40!
Jude:
I love the video for that one, and I could easily see him singing it.
Anna:
You are on! There are probably better clubs in Cali anyway
WV = zwnnam
Anon:
I am not terribly familiar with Magnetic Fields, but I think Morrissey may be a bit too melodramitic and depressing for him before he turns 13.
Do you see no irony in a child with asthma liking the band Weezer?
Mimma:
There is a bit of irony there
Dustin:
I was going to try for more industrial than techno. I think Little Man could dig some Ministry, cause Jesus Built my Hotrod
