A Conversation With Charlie (Age 6) About Six
We're in the car listening, as always, to Movin' 92.5 and the song "Let's Talk About Sex" by Salt-n-Pepa comes on.
HIM: Turn it up! I love this song!
JILL: (worried look)
ME: (singing along) Let's talk about six, baby, let's talk about you and me.
HIM: What are they saying?
JILL: They're talking about six. All the good things and the bad things that can be.
ME: Having to go to school all day but also learning to swim.
JILL: (singing) Let's talk ABOUT six, let's talk about six!
ME: So no wonder you like this song.
HIM: Yeah!
And THAT is some serious bad-ass parenting, y'all!

Pop culture and some news put through a filter of optimistic cynicism. Also, lots of vanity. And seemingly a great deal about children. More than some might expect. Written by John Moe

Nice. That's right up there with the McKinstries teaching their girls that the chorus to "Tubthumping" went "KISSING the night away..."
Awesome parenting skills! If I got a dime for every time we had to say "It's a ______ but some people say that instead of penis." to our 10-year old I'd have about $1.50 by now.
A of all, unbelievable save.
B of all, it was a good moment not to be New Zealanders.
And C is for camel, I will be using that forever in regards to Finn and the word "sex". Six. Six. It's all six they're talking about, buddy. This country is totally six-crazy. It's really something. Hahaha. Ha. Hew.
My son Ben listening to Corb Lund's "All I Want to Do Is Play Cards," sings, "All I want to do is play with cars."
