Mommy's Censoring Skills Need Some Work
Her lyrics may be salty--- she's an addict and not ashamed of it--but she's honest, real and man can she sing. I have Amy Winehouse's new album playing over and over again on my iPod and in my head. She's a mix of Etta James, Ronnie Spector and Fiona Apple, and it's taking me ever ounce of control I have not to belt out her songs while the kids are around.
So I've been singing in a whisper, out of earshot from Alex especially, since he could hear an ant pass gas in the woods.
While I straightened my hair this morning, I softly sang, "They tried to make me to go to rehab, but I said no, no, no..."
Even though I was two rooms away, and The Backyardigans were on full blast, I heard a small voice call, "Mom, what's rehab?"
I've now taken up humming.

I'd tell them it's never to early to scare 'em straight. That being said, keep your kids away from mine if you don't want them knowing the real deal. Every December it's all I can do to keep the spirit alive for the under 10 crowd. They might still believe in Santa, but if they hang here ther're gonna know what rehab is and a lot more too.
Yeah, I almost had to figure out the hard way why Daddymatic took out the uncensored version of Kayne West's new album out of the car CD playah.
Oops.
Yes...children go selectively deaf when you need them to do anything for you, but they're on RED ALERT when you'd like them to blissfully unaware of what you're saying or doing.
How funny--I've started listening to her too. She's got an amazing voice.
