Peter, Paul and Patty

Tweet

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