Peter, Paul and Patty  email this discussion to a friend?

So we're still listening to the Peter, Paul and Mary CD in the car. Dearra syas to me this morning, "Mom, why didn't they call it Peter, Paul and Patty?" "Um, because her name is Mary." "Yeah, but it doesn't fit." "How about Peter, Paul and Paradox?" "Peter, Paul and Pathetic?"

Then she says, "well at least I don't have to listen to Right Field today". For some reason she's taken a dislike to that particular song. So I said, "I can move it to that song." "NO!!!" Goes into a 12 year old tirade about why the song is so stupid, "it's sung badly, it's about a kid who's awkward and slow", bla bla bla...

So I said, "it's an inspirational song. It's about a boy who is awkward and then one day he makes a brilliant catch."

"I don't care. I don't like it. Do you like it Naomi?"

"NO!!!"

So I said, "well Cary likes it!"

"No he doesn't. Do you like it Cary?"

Said very softly, "no"...

So I went into my Dearra imitation.

"Geez, people. It's a song about a boy who thinks he can't do something and then it turns out he can. He feels better about himself. It's a beautiful song. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!" angry

OK well they still don't like the song, but it got a laugh.

I feel a barbara song coming on, or at least I think its a barbara song, barbara dickson and elaine paige though, but you aint a him so I would have to change it to I know her so well!!! Am I on song today or what?


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

with a song in my heart...


myLot reputation of 61/100. vonmac (13409)  3 years ago

Hey, I have a new song for that husband of mine
Well a few really, Ballad of a Thin Man, springs to mind, and now I can ask him
Can you please crawl out through your window!!! He sure as heck couldnt before, lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

lol
I couldn't crawl out mine as a kid. My dad nailed them shut.


myLot reputation of 61/100. vonmac (13409)  3 years ago

I had to sleep in a box room with no window when I was a child.
My mother produced more kids than we had bedrooms for, and had she not got divorced I expect she would have continued to. 5 kids in a 2 bedroom house,
I never saw daylight until I was 13.


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

like a mushroom


myLot reputation of 61/100. vonmac (13409)  3 years ago

Yes, kept in the dark and fed a lot of bs!!!


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

that was how they brought us up back then...


myLot reputation of 61/100. vonmac (13409)  3 years ago

We are going out now, I hope we cross paths again a bit later on
Have a great day,

Hi dawn,
How about Peter, Paul and Parable? I think this combination would work better. Now coming down to the children not liking the song played repeatedly is natural. Possibly then want something new and you have to bow down to pathetic.


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

Peter, Paul and Parable is actually very appropriate.

It's almost time to change the CD. But they don't like the song to be played even once!


myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4926)   ranked 1,625 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

Sorry, you are in a fix. What would you do now? I happy that the addition or change was accepted.


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

Oh I will eventually change the CD. Probably to the Beatles. They never complain about the Beatles. But I like expanding their little horizons occasionally!


myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4926)   ranked 1,625 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

Yes that is a good move. After sometime who knows they might pick up liking the peter...


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

Cary likes it, except for that one song. The girls aren't such big fans. :-)


myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4926)   ranked 1,625 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

Thank God at least one likes it. And girls are of differenthappy disposition anyway...happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

yes and they're not always the same either. Dearra likes Simon and garfunkel and Naomi hates it...


myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4926)   ranked 1,625 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

Know what? Sometime children play pranks this way. Like say one likes number 'A' and the other 'B' and the third one 'C'. And they do it on purpose so that they get new stuff and you are vexed.


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

Well thanks for the laugh. Yes, I 'm sure they do this sometimes!


myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4926)   ranked 1,625 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

going for dinner now. Its 11.05 pm. So amusing , right? You are with broad day ligt and we are preparing to go for a sleep.


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

Enjoy your dinner. It's 10:38 here and I have to wait about an hour for lunch time!


myLot reputation of 91/100. krajibg (4926)   ranked 1,625 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

Wow one part of the globe is having lunch and the other party dinner. But the nice thing is that Mylot never sleeps.


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

No it doesn't! sleep

"Peter Paul and Passed Over" now I am afraid Dawn. When you are 12 you are so certain that you're right that nobody else can possibly change your mind. Having been 12 for some years I know that for a fact!


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

lmao
My case of arrested development happened when I was 8.

How about Peter, Paul and P1key?


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7539)   ranked 152 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

If I had a Hammer I'd be wondering where have all the flowers gone. Leaving on a jet plane probably. NOW may I have my soda and cookies PLEASE Mom?


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

Cary ate the last cookie, but I saved you a brownie...


myLot reputation of 97/100. p1kef1sh (7539)   ranked 152 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

Thank you. Did I ever tell you that you are my favourite Sacramento Mom?


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

:-)
shhhhhhh don't let SacMom see that....
Have another brownie!

Well, come to think of it--you could really confuse them by explaining that Paul's name isn't really Paul at all! lol

I swear it's just impossible to explain one generation's music to another. When my parents would complain about the music I was listening to in the 60's and 70's--I would be indignant. And I would say to them, oh yes--your generation's music was so much better. The Purple People Eater and Getta Job--extremely enlightening! lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

hehe
Actually the kids often like what I decide to put on, though they haven't exactly warmed up to opera or Broadway. But it's time to change the CD. The girls are complaining a little too often... :-)

Ah...Kids these days just do not appreciate decent music...The main thing is that you all had a laugh; that’s what the kids will remember before the music. When they’re all grown up they’ll recall having fun in the car with Mum and that’s pretty cool!

Peter, Paul and Pathetic...That is a bit rough...Funny though!
happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 50 out of 9,011 in parenting  3 years ago

I like Peter, Paul and Parable myself...
