Son 2 was in the spelling bee this week (and ended up 3rd), and the girls have come across his list of study words while they were all cleaning. Little Sweetie (who is only 4 and can't read very much) is holding the list and making up words for her sister (8). Words like car, sit, sun. Then she says, "perpetual motion."
I think someone's reading my blog.
I listen to the radio in the car and do a lot of channel surfing because let's face it, this is Arkansas, so nearly all the stations are religious talk radio, country, or the top 40 of 1945. There are a few modern popular stations (that play the same five songs over and over, it seems), and I find myself changing the channel during certain songs. They don't have bad words and musically they are not offensive--but they irritate me because they seem to celebrate one person dominating another in a relationship, and the other unable to function without the first. Ie, utterly dysfunctional. So Little Sweetie and I have these conversations about music in the car. I guess it's sinking in. Yesterday she said, "Mama, I know what kind of songs you hate: ones with screaming (I get enough tantrums in real life, thanks), and ones with unhealthy relationships." Like I said, she's listening!
The point of this post, though--you HAVE to take a look at this. Cool--and it's close to us! If we can't go to Europe, maybe Europe can come to us... Too bad our kids will be in college before it's done.
