What a Morning

I love to embarrass my kids. Have you found the fun in that too?

This morning, as per usual, we were waiting at the end of our driveway in La Tahoe, when I decided to put my Beach Boys CD in and play a song. I chose "Dance, Dance, Dance" just for the hell of it, and proceeded to groove.

Son was not amused. Daughter, however, thought I was hysterically funny.

After Son was safely placed on the bus, Daughter and I set off to le Mart de Wal to pick up The Little Mermaid. (I've been barraged about this for the past two weeks, you know.) So, we're sitting at a stop sign when all of a sudden we hear this tremendous bellowing!

In the truck next to us was a calf, bawling his head off. I burst out laughing; it wasn't exactly what I expected to hear on the road.

And once our shopping trip was winding down, I noticed that the song playing on the loudspeaker at Wal-Fart was Duran Duran's "Save a Prayer."

"My gawd," I thought, "is that considered easy listening oldies now?"

Sheesh.
