Kids Say The Darndest Things

Last weekend we had some friends over for drinks and general merriment...they brought with them a new game they had just bought called "Name that tune, 80's style"...or something like that...My husband and I thought we would RULE this game...Come on...we were teenagers during the 80's...music was our life then...We grew up in a town, which during the winter season, offered very little in the recreation department...so we spent a lot of time, when it was too cold to be outside, sitting around listening to music...Well, this game must have been talking about a DIFFERENT 80's....because this wasn't the 80's we had listened too...We tanked the game, but we didn't feel too bad about it seeing our friends didn't do any better...The only highlight of the game came when we got a question that read something like this...."Who sang the song 'I like boys'?"....the choices were read off, #1. Pat Benatar #2. Cindi Lauper #3. Blondie #4. Heart....and just as the word "Heart" left the lips of the certified answer reader, my youngest son of 12 years walks into the room and says, without skipping a beat "#5. Michael Jackson".....There was absolute silence for about two seconds before a great roar of laughter filled the room...It was many minutes later as the laughter was subsiding and our eyes were beginning to dry that my son, knowing his work was done, turned with a satisfied grin on his face, and left the room as quietly as he had entered...
