Has anyone noticed that every song seems to say f**k and a** these days? A bit challenging when trying to teach one's children English and their exposure is limited. Turning on the radio seems to be a dangerous game especially in our situation....
So I bought a CD. The kids like "Firework" so I thought, now I can control what they hear... Buying an album with candy on the front gives one a false sense of security, as I quickly learned...
The second song has been a hit but mom has had to explain;
-what being passed out means
-why pink flamingos are so funny (and that one one would throw real ones in a pool)
-what having a car towed means
-what shots are
-what having a warrant out for an arrest means
-what maxing out a credit card is (they already knew, thanks to Demi Lovato and Disney)
-skinny dipping
-streaking
-being screwed
Luckily so far, they haven't asked about the hickie or themenage à trois is.

Disadvantage to being an "older" parent; kids are naturally curious what the heck one did all those years before having them. This song has kind of "outed" me. They could tell I related just a bit too well...
