Pissed it away so fast

How’s my 9 year old daughter taking to singing whatever I’m playing in the car or she’s heard on the radio. A year ago, I had this old Jimmy Buffet number reworked by Jack Johnson playing in the car, she’d heard it so many times before long she was singing:

“But I’ve done my share of smugglin’,
I’ve run my share of grass,
Made enough money to buy Miami,
But I pissed it away so fast,
Never meant to last, never meant to last.”

Yesterday, she was dancing around the house singing,

“I kissed a girl and I liked it,
Taste of her cherry chap-stick,
I kissed a girl and I liked it…”

by whoever

Life can be funny.

    But I’ve done my share of smugglin’,
    I’ve run my share of grass,
    Made enough money to buy Miami,
    But I pissed it away so fast

    Digby, if I heard my little niece singing this I would howl with laughter….so incongruous it’s wonderful!

    That’s pretty funny, right?

    Some people have told me I should be careful about what she’s listening to, but when I was her age, I was singing:

    See me ride out of that sunset,
    On you color TV screen,
    Out for all that I can get,
    If you know what I mean,

    Lock up your daughters,
    Lock up your wife,
    Lock up you back door,
    And run for your life…
