When kids fail to have fun.....

So what do you do when you realize your kid doesn't know how to have fun and would rather rip apart a great song to show it's non-existent rationality? You expose them to more crazy behavior!

Friday, I checked out the 'Aladdin' soundtrack, which happens to be one of my favorite Disney soundtracks on the planet. My husband, myself, and our thirteen year old daughter are jamming to 'Friend like Me' when our six year old questions one of Genie's lines. While singing, he asks Aladdin "Can your friends do this. Can your friends do that? Can your friends pull this out of their little hats?" So she asks/says matter of factly, "Why does he (Genie) ask him (Aladdin) that? He should know he doesn't have any friends." To which my four year old son replies, "He has a monkey!"

So Genie is the coolest person Aladdin knows now, so what, I figure that Aladdin can say "yes, my friend can do that, 'cause your the guy!" What happened to the good old days when kids didn't read between the lines of lyrics or words and just enjoyed a song for what it is? So here's to hoping my daughter doesn't decide to ask what "Well tonight thank God it's them, instead of you" means because trying to explain that piece of trash lyric will take quite a bit of time that I don't currently have on this page. Happy Monday!
