Well, it SEEMS harmless...

Last night, after dinner (local restaurant Pazzo's--good choice) and a movie (Are We There Yet? starring Ice Cube--pretty good family movie choice) in celebration of Shelby, we had to get Kelsey some #2 pencils as she taking the "Duke Test"...selected middle schoolers take the SAT and the results are supposed to help universities spot talent earlier.

Now that I think about it, that's another blog subject, but something happened after we found the pencils:

Tracy spotted a CD entitled, "Michael Jackson: The Number Ones." She earnestly wanted it and I couldn't argue with her when she said something along the lines of, "Well, he may be a freak off stage but these are some really good pop songs. Besides, we know every song on it because of the videos when we were in high school."

Side note: Yes, younger readers, at one time, MTV showed videos of songs.

Anyway, later last year, she wanted to go see Prince when he toured Dallas. Her argument was very similar. The show sold out and we were unsuccessful at getting tickets, so she's not alone...40,000 people over two nights seemed to be okay with it.

She's always been up on pop music so I don't guess it's anything to worry about, but I purchased the soundtrack to Garden State just to balance things out.
