The 8 y.o. enters the parents’ bedroom at 6am on a Saturday morning. The Mom has her Skullcandy earbuds in and listening to Spotify on her laptop as the 8 yo approaches the foot of her bed.

The 8 y.o.: Mommy? Mom? MOMMY!!!!

The Mom (visibly jumps as she’s woken up and removes an earbud): Yes?

The 8 y.o.: I knocked but no one said to come in, so I came in. And I’m hungry. And I have to go to the bathroom. And I can’t find anyone who’s awake. What music are you listening to?

The 8 y.o. (reaches for the orphaned earbud to put it in her ear. Listens hard for a second then removes the earbud): WOW! I thought it would be a musical or something. THAT is one very angry dude. (Looks at Spotify screen) ‘Kid Rock’? Seriously? For a ‘kid’, he sure knows an impressive amount of potty words!
