Responding to Karen, and to dear Birches herself: my son (now 10) was a big fan of opera when he was 4. I actually wrote in our Christmas letter that year than his favorite operas were Candide, The Mikado, and Sweeny Todd. When he began to quote from Sweeny Todd I decided we’d better ‘lose’ that CD; it has not resurfaced since, but I think he’s about old enough to be counted on not to quote it in public …

Beth,He was NOT flirting with me. And the iPod Shuffle is Cool. And you are just jealous.Dad,Yes, that song will be perfect for you. And-- heavens!-- 100 songs is a lot of songs. How many does the juke box carry??? And, by the way, it can hold 120 songs. So that's better, yes? Love you!etc., whatever,1, 2, 3....Karen,I'm just happy to know that your children know these lyrics and not just the wheels on the bus.... I was so proud of myself when some young adults from our church had to borrow our mini-van and expected to find the wheels on the bus (or some other such stuff) in my c.d. player, and were really impressed when they found Cold Play instead. See Beth? Maybe I AM cool....Did I ever tell you that we actually (accidentally) walked William and Everett through the red light district in Amsterdam? Talk about some explaining....Thanks, EVERYONE, for commenting!

Unfortunately, having no such technological advances in my possession, I simply rely on the car stereo to drown out the din of my life. As a result, my 4 year old daughter can sing all the lyrics to “Our Lips Are Sealed” by the Go-Go’s, and my 6 year old son loves “Roxanne” by the Police. I guess pretty soon I’ll need to invest in the fancy private listening devices, or else explaining “the red light” or “selling your body to the night” might become an issue. And by the way, you were way off target in your discussion of not being cool.

Hey, we did a presentation at the East Northport Rotary this Am and a fellow there mentioned that smaller Ipod which you have. I understand its only good for 100 songs :(

Your blog is fun! We will have to get that song to hear when we are 'All at Sea' for 13 days or so between Cape Town and Liberia in October, God Willing.

Or he was just bored and wanted to talk about something, anything, to break the slow pace of the day. Remember, I worked in two bookstores for a total of 9 years. There is a lot of lying about stuff so you can flirt or just lying for the heck of it. I of course never did this but I witnessed it a lot.

I am pretty sure that he was flirting with you.
