We're putting up the tree and BabyMidlo

[Midlodemocrat]

has given me a choice of which music to listen to.


1) Hansen Christmas CD

2) JoBro

:cry:


I want to listen to the Rolling Stone Greatest Hits of Classic Rock I bought last night.


:cry:

[TZ]

1. Hansen Christmas CD?

Isn't that what they play to annoy the prisoners in Gitmo?:rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

2. LOL. It's actually pretty good.

Those boys have some beautiful voices. Their version of 'Oh, Holy Night' must have brought their mom to her knees.

[Shell Beau]

3. Hansen has a Christmas CD??

:wow:


:scared:

[Midlodemocrat]

4. From when they were the Boy Band du Jour.

It's actually pretty good.

[flvegan]

5. Mmmm Bop, mmmm bop, mmmm bop all the way

oh what fun it is to ride in hell's handbasket this way

[MissMillie]

6. our decorating is always done to one of two CDs

Barbra Streisand's Christmas Album (that nice Jewish girl can sure sing one hell of an Ave Maria)


or


John Gary's Christmas album (it's rare, but if you can find it, it's worth it--we grew up with it)

If you're listening to Jonas Brothers, I hope you've stocked up on eggnog.

[Midlodemocrat]

7. She's moved on to Josh Groban.

:cry:

[MissMillie]

8. oh, hell

forget the eggnog, move on to the tequila

[Midlodemocrat]

14. You know, that raise me up song aside, he has a very nice voice.

I hadn't realized before that he had such a rich timbre. Color me surprised.

[madinmaryland]

15. Have you heard of the Naked Brothers Band? My daughter is going to see them

tonite in DC with friends (chaperoned).

:scared:

[Midlodemocrat]

16. No. I just asked BabyM

and this is the exchange.

Me: B, have you ever heard of the Naked Brothers?

BabyM: Yeah, they're stupid. They try to be cool but they're ugly and stupid. Nothing like the Jonas Brothers.




--------> me -----> :rofl:


I. Shit. You. Not.


:rofl:


Kids.

[madinmaryland]

17. Daughter-mim was invited, so it was free and a night away from Mom and Dad.

At 11 who would you choose, Mom and Dad, or a shitty teeny-band!

:hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

18. Are you kidding? You're asking the woman who drove 6 hours

each way to see the JoBro with chatty Cathy in the back seat. :eyes:

Jeebus. The things we do for our kids.

[Midlodemocrat]

20. One more thing. Make sure you give her money for a Tee-shirt.

Everything else doesn't matter. The physical proof of going to the concert is HUGH.

If they've left already, CALL THAT MOM and ask her to front you the $650 or thereabouts for the shirt. :rofl:

J/K. The JoBro shirt was $35. Seriously. I paid $35 for a shirt and got a new President and a car magnet to boot. :rofl:

[madinmaryland]

25. Me! You look up "cheap bastid" in teh dictionary and you see my pic.

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

22. I think you were pwnd by your daughter!!

:rofl:

I pity the folks that are taking the girls. Three chattering (not stop) 11 yo girls. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it!

[Midlodemocrat]

24. Dude. You have no idea. It is friggin' deadly.

I had to take a van load of them recently to Target to buy stuff to make stockings for some underprivileged children and I wanted to shove an ice pick in my ears, but Target apparently doesn't carry them.

[madinmaryland]

27. Oh shit! Mrs-mim and daughter-mim spent most of yesterday at

Target. Crack-shopping for them

x(

[skygazer]

9. Children should be seen and not heard

And their music even more so. :P

[Midlodemocrat]

10. I know.

:cry:

This one...oy.

[JVS]

11. Why did you let Babymidlo learn that those albums exist?

If I had a kid, I'd do my best to have him thinking that all music is by Pink Floyd

[Midlodemocrat]

12. Because I occasionally let her out of the closet.

One of the first songs she learned to sing was 'Who Are You?'

:rofl:

In the van, we're currently jamming to Triumph. :thumbsup:

[Lyric]

13. We're cleaning the living room carpet so we can put the tree up later.

We're listening to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra Christmas box set!

:hi:

[LeftyMom]

19. We're redoing LK's liberty spikes and listening to Minor Threat.

All families have their issues. :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

21. You've met her. You know how relentless she can be.

She wanted to buy a blow up penguin, the ferris wheel, the blow up ornaments and the holographic gifts because we only do white trees, candles and snowmen in the yard.

She's a mess.

[LeftyMom]

23. "Relentless" is a good word for her.

She's kinda like one of those puppies that won't stop jumping on you until she gets attention. :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

26. Seriously. She is deadly.

She gets hold of something and is like a dog gnawing a bone. :rofl:

The boy is like that too. When he gets a bee in his bonnett, he lands right between my shoulder blades. He's younger and stronger, so you can guess who wins the 'Mom, can I have a couple of bucks to go to Wawa?' discussions.

:eyes:

[AwakeAtLast]

28. No Charlie Brown Christmas?

That always gets me in a good Christmas mood.
