Bonding

As you know, I am moving. Again. My daughter and I have been packing and looking for houses. We are off to look at houses. We stop and grab some timmy ho and off we go. Now I am officially in a good mood, I have my coffee, the sun is shining and we are so-to-speak on a road trip. I decide to play some oldie but goodies on the way to match my hyper-happy can't hold me down attitude. I throw in the Beastie Boys, the old classic License to ill. Now, because of lameass mix tapes I know she is familiar with brass monkey. But, I am going to take this time to expose her to a few tracks I enjoy. I start with my fav No sleep, she is unthrilled. Then it hits me...Fight for your right. Ya, she's gotta be able to relate to some of that. It begins and her interest is peaked as soon as they talk about school. It was so cool. I was telling her how this band was really hot when I was in the fourth grade. I couldn't believe she was actually jamming to the beastie boys, I mean I'm thinking to myself what a bridge for the generation gap. So all is going well until we hit the verse about the porno mag. Then we kinda hit the breaks. I can see the wheels spinning in her head. I truthfully have no idea if she knew what they were talking about. Luckily, I escaped with a near miss. She didn't ask and I didn't offer.

Great album, I love old school Beatie Boys.  That is funny about the porno mag, how old is your daughter?

Yeah, I saw the Beastie Boys at Endfest, one of the cool things that used to come to Kitsap County back in the day.  Ahhh those were the good old days. 

LOL about your daughter listening to lyrics...When I was little my mom took my bro and I camping w/this guy who worked for us, Tom.  We were all listening to AC/DC and "Big Balls" came on.  So my bro asked what it meant, and Tom, quick thinker, said "Beach balls!" and Ryan was content with that answer.  (I knew something was up but not exactly what they were hiding). We laugh about it now.

My daughter is 11 but I have sheltered her, maybe even too much. Shes not real street smart yet. I don't really let her do the same things I did when I was her age. I remember riding my bike to a 7-11 that was miles away  from where we lived. I wouldn't come home til after dark. I barely let her play outside, let alone ride a bark farther than my eyes. But times are different now, kids get taken all the time even more so it seems. And it just seems like theres more trouble to get into now.

Oh I agree with you 100%!!  I was pretty sheltered growing up also and I can say I turned out alright!

My friend and I were driving with her little brother and that Steve Miller song came on and he asked us what a midnight toker was.  We told him it was somebody that crosses the Newport bridge at midnight and uses a token.
