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.

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.
