And he thought that Michael Jackson was a member of Black Sabbath? Perhaps he learned that from someone so ignorant of music that he would spell "chord" without an h.
You'll understand when you have children.

"He's sitting next to me right now."
Oh, is this the kid quote thread?
Hawaii attended two dance classes. The first was a mad mess of 13 three year olds. Afterwards the teacher advised us to try one of the classes with 4-6 year olds. So we did.
Afterwards, I asked her which class she preferred - the little kids or the bigger kids. She said, "I like the little kid class better. In the big kid class, I kept getting distracted by the big kids and it was hard to do everything right. In the little kid class, I could ignore them and do everything that the teacher said to do."
My 7-year old son, when he heard that Michael Jackson had died: "Isn't that a bit early to die?...Did he take a drug?"
My mother has dug up a trove of my juvenile writings and is sending me one scan a day. Today's:
Dear little, I hope you liked my present. love, HUMONGUS
My 7-year old son's friend, an orphan from Ethiopia who was adopted by a "mixed" American (Jewish and African-American) couple: "Michael Jackson? Is he that black boy who became a white lady?" No word of a lie.
I imagine everybody in Ethiopia has heard that joke by age 6, just like here.
I can no longer remember anything my kids say.
It gets better.
My first boyfriend in college was very fond of a dance music song (if they're called songs in dance music) whose only words were "James Brown is dead."
I had to check to see if that was true now, but I doubt it was when you were in college,
Unless you're younger than I thought.
8 - that's very sweet. I have one little note I particularly love, from kid B, that says "To mummy from the mysterios whale".
An earlier generation knew that "Paul is dead" by playing Revolution 9 backwards. Of course my parents wouldn't actually let me play it backwards because that would "hurt the record," even though they didn't actually like to listen to it, but hey - they grew up during the Depression and we were supposed to take care of our possessions, demonic though they were....
If you had it on cassette and had one of those little eyeglass screwdrivers, you could play it backward by disassembling the cassette. This is one of the many things I did as a teenager that were far more trouble than they were worth.
That would be been a great deal of work indeed.
12: that's a good song if, okay, of its moment.
18: To listen to Revolution #9 backwards? Aren't you way too young for that to have been of interest?
I was born old. What can I say? I was a weird kid.
I was born old.
