Radio Wisdom

My darling son and I were driving somewhere or other the other day. (Maybe it was the grocery store I can't quite recall.) Anyhoo, we had the radio on as we usually do. I am a person who is very "into" music and my son is following in his mother's footsteps on that one. So we are listening away and I was not even paying attention to what song was on-just driving-like ya do. So we get to the store and are grabbing what we need and my son says to me,"Mom?"

"Yes son?" I answer, waiting for whatever gem he is about to lay on me cause let's face it this kid is hilarious.

"Words can't bring you down." he says.

I bust a gut laughing and realize that the Christina Aguilara song, "Beautiful" had been on just before we got out of the car. I say, "Wow Andrew, that is great. I appreciate that. Did you get that from that song on the radio?"

"Yeah," he says. "I like that."

So that's our thing now. We'll be doing whatever and I'll say, "Andrew."

"Yeah mom?"

"Words can't bring you down."

We're deep and cool like that. Wise advice from my seven year old son and his friend Christina.
