On picking up the song cues

[slipjig3]

One problem with being a parent of young children is that every now and then the kids will set you up perfectly, but don't understand the joke they've set up:

Abbey: [at McDonald's] I see a little cup of ketchup over there...
Me: [sings] Scaramouche! Scaramouche! Will you do the fandango?
Abbey: [deeply confused look]

*sigh* She'll learn. Someday.

Ha! We pull stuff like this all the time with Elayna, too. I figure we're giving her therapy fodder for years.

They will have their revenge, though. Someday, not so many years from now, they will casually mention popular cultural icons we've never heard of, and laugh derisively when we ask who they are. It's the parents' curse.
