Daphne, who is in kindergarten, insists that her favorite song is Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes. She even does the head banging in sync with the guitar riffs. I guess having to explain what "the Hounds of Hell" means to a six year old isn't exactly great parenting, eh? I really wouldn't mind if she was singing Cheap Trick--catchy tune, that one. :) Or am I just showing my age? Hubby is worse than I am about listening to whatever HE wants in the car and forgetting that there are very avid little ears in the backseat. Daphne came home last week singing..."I've been a bad, bad girl..." OK! No Fiona Apple until she's much older, thank you! Ack! He had no problem with it. Men!

My husband had the radio on and the song "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas came on. She knew ALL of the lyrics. Very disturbing to watch a 12 year old sing that!

I neglected to check the rating -- R. The babysitter and the kids were pretty shocked.
