Same to most of Chris’ Larry Arms songs (who the hell knows what Brendan is ever saying). I’m probably a bad dad for that but at least he’ll have a reasonable foundation of good musical taste.</p> Well, my 7-year old sings along to High Five Anxiety word for word, except for the few f-bombs which he insightfully skips.

Instead, when we’re in the car he just farts a lot.</p> Sometimes I wish my dog would ask to listen to good music. Instead, when we’re in the car he just farts a lot.

When our now 5 yr old Zain was 3 years old, his favorite book was “I Stink” which is a great book to notice the actual words, since the text is so graphic and jumps off the page: rrRROOOAARRrr! Zain even started to notice the punctuation and learned to recognize periods and exclamation points. We lived on a cul-de-sac at the end of a long straight street. So one day we are taking an extra lap around the cul-de-sac for fun before we turn in the driveway and Zain says: “Papa we’re on the period of the exclamation point.”<br /> Took me a minute to figure out what he meant, when I did my jaw dropped…</p> Great story and you are right – kids can bring about exhaustion and true exasperation as well as exhiliration and true amazement.

My niece is going to turn two in a few months and is such a fireball, always running everywhere and grabbing whatever she can get her hands on. I can’t wait to brainwash her with awesome music.</p> <p>PS. Can you upload that “Phone Dance” ringtone? Been meaning to look for something new to answer my phone to ;-)</p> Hahaha, awesome.

He calls <span class="caps">MGMT</span>’s “Time To Pretend” ‘the fishie song’, because of the bubbly sounds right at the beginning before the opening notes kick in. He says it sounds like the fish tank filter. He does know it’s real name though – when my sister was hunting for ‘the fishie song’ on her ipod one day she couldn’t remember its real name, and muttered to herself “What’s it called?!” My nephew replied ‘Time To Pretend, Mum! Time To Pretend.” Kids are clever and surprising, and we should never underestimate their awesomeness! Great story about Hailey, loved it.</p> My nephew is the same age, and also does what Hailey does when listening to my ipod.
