Smokin'!

I've tagged this entry as "Dandy-Walker" just because it involves Hannah, though it's not particularly Dandy-Walker oriented. My dandy-girl still makes me smile!

Tonight I let loose the eighties girl in me and listened to Boston's Smokin'. OK, so that's seventies. Sue me. Hannah immediately started playing her air guitar & shake-shake-shakin' it, which makes me laugh every time. (thank you, Sheri, for giving Hannah her air guitar roots).

In mid-song I said, "Hannah, can you close the curtain for me, please?"

She stopped, put one air-guitar finger in the air and said, "Mmmm, faking. (Hmmm, I'm thinking)." Pause. "Naaah. 'mbizzy (No, I'm busy)", after which she immediately resumed jammin' on her air guitar...to these lyrics:

Smokin, smokin
We're cookin' tonight
Just keep on tokin'

Holy cow--I'm really mother of the year. I sincerely didn't know the lyrics until just now, when I looked them up online in order to post them. I won't let my kids watch Sponge Bob, but I'll crank Boston.

Rock on!
