You Know You're Getting Old When...

...you have to tell your kid to turn down the music. Oh, crap. Here we go. I can't believe it happened, but it happened last night. Here I am, working away on the computer, innocently enjoying my new "Relaxing Christmas Jazz" CD when I hear a choir of out-of-tune children screaming "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." I say screaming and not singing because I don't think it qualifies as singing. It is none other than the "Kidz Bop Christmas" CD I bought for B a few days ago.

Blasting.

In the bathroom.

Where it echoes.

So he can look in the mirror at himself checking his pretend list "twice" and better not "pout"-ing.

'Cause SANTA CLAUSE IS COMIN' TO TOWN! Did you hear me? SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN' TO TOWN! Yes. SANTA CLAUS IS COM-IN' TO TOOOOOOOOOOOWN!

I'm only 29. He's only 8. We have a long ten years ahead, don't we? And the worst part? He found the "repeat" button.

Comments:
Wow it really sucks when those CD's get scratched and they don't work any more doesn't it Kristen?
;)
 
Oh Lord, KIDZ BOP. The commercials they have for those CDs just send shivers up and down my spine! I think a certain judicious sabotage might be a good thing.
 
alyssa- Oh, yeah! Sure does! Not sure if I'd have the heart, though. Maybe I'll just borrow his earplugs.

steph- Maybe I'll sneak it into his suitcase so he can play it when he goes to visit his mom for the holidays.
