"Mama, I want to hear the one about the starving love. The song about the starving love."
I wracked my brain for starving love songs, but not a one came to mind.
"Mama! The one about the love that's so hungry! That one, I want to hear."
"Ohhhhhhh . . . heh, heh, heh, you mean "Hungry Heart" by Bruce Springsteen?
"That's what I said."
Then I spent the next ten minutes trying to explain the difference between radio and CDs to the little V-meister, who could not grasp the concept that there was no Starving Love to be heard on our car stereo at the moment she required it, and therefore continued to demand that the Starving Love song be played until the very moment we pulled into our driveway.
(I have no idea where she even heard that song, because I never listen to no sappy 80s stations.)
But, speaking of starving love and hungry hearts, check out this picture of the V-meister and my friend's son, V-boy, taken at the mall the other day just moments after he enlisted her to help him find a nice blue shirt just like his dad's, but smaller:
"Do you want to try Gap Kids?"

Floored by cuteness.

Oh, heavens! How would she know a song like that?
"Had a wife and kid in Baltimore, Jack. Walked out one day and never went back."
Oh, geez. LOL
THAT picture should be on the cover of that newspaper your hubby has a tiny column in. :)
LOVE IT.
oh that's too cute!
I also have to explain to Sugarplum why I can't "start over" songs on the radio. She also re-names songs... like "Wheels on the Bus" is "Waah Waah Waah" because "the babies on the bus go waah waah waah"
So cute. You just never know when they're listening.
That picture is priceless.
Love the photo!
Since the Little Mister will likely grow up listening to my iPod (in the car, in the speaker system in the house, etc) he'll probably think I can always just find whatever song he wants too. :)
Oh - so sweet (the photo and the song request). My kids are just now grasping that not all songs are On Demand (in the van...at home we're always on Itunes).
That photo is precious.
dad-gummit. yer kids are adorable.
lay off the boss, though.
one time on a playdate, my son and a little girl were singing in the backseat in their respective car seats. they suddenly got quiet and i looked in the rearview mirror and they were holding hands, very sweet stuff.
So cute!!
Best picture ever. It's like their own little kid universe. The down vest! Oh the vest it kills me!
We live in an iTunes/iPod world.
hw much did you pay them to hold hands in that picture?
just kdding. ;)
I heard Springsteen's first choice for that song was Voracious Ticker. ;)
Very cute picture.
We had this exact conversation with the girls on the way to school/work this morning. "Sorry girls, but we don't HAVE 'It's so easy to fall in love' in the CD player right now..."
Oh CUTE picture!!
Sweet picture! I've had the same conversation with my older one about the radio. For us it was about Christmas songs.
It is so funny how they pick up on snipets of songs. My son does this all the time.
Love the picture!
Oh, that's too freakin' cute. And too funny about the song request. What kind of DJ are you, anyway?
Oh, they are so cute! Elliot always requests the song "Young Folks" by saying, "I want to her MY song." After many frustrating conversations trying to explain that mommy could not make the song magically play on the radio, I put it on my i-pod. Problem solved. Well, sort of. Now I'm so sick of that song sometimes I tell her the i-pod is broken.
Cute, cute, CUTE!!!!
Oh so cute! Sappy 80s music? I like it and the really bad 70s music. My daughter thinks I am strange.
