Ah, the inappropriate songs my child knows.....

Melanie LOVES music. She has since before she was even born.....I mean, I went to a few concerts while I was pregnant with her, and it would take me hours afterwards to fall asleep because she would be dancing inside me!! The first few weeks after she was here, I had to have Kenny Chesney's "You Save Me" on repeat every time we rode in the car just so she wouldn't cry. Also, Melanie has an amazing memory. She has recently been discussing things that happened before Meredith was born, which was 2 years ago already, when she wasn't even 2 years old yet!! The love of music and the amazing memory combined have created a sort of embarrassing situation for me, because she hears a song once and knows most of the words. For example, her new favorite song is "Tik Tok" by Ke$ha. (Gotta love the dollar sign in the name.....it's a symbol of class......) Anyway, we were at our softball game last week, and she was on the bleachers talking to her friends, and all of a sudden she starts singing, "Everybody getting crunk, boys trying to touch my junk, gonna slap them if they're getting to drunk" (I think those are the words, she knows them better than I do!) Okay, now I know she doesn't know what all of that means, but when other kids are singing "Old McDonald" and she's talking about her junk, it creates a wee bit of embarrassment for Mommy!

This one is funny...as I have written before, Meredith's favorite song is "Baby" by Justin Bieber, and Ludacris has a part in it, too. Well, the other night, we were out driving around, and heaven forbid, I forgot my ipod. (I am such a bad mommy.) Anyway, we found "Baby" on Star 94 in the car the other night, and Melanie was not happy about it. Star 94 skipped over the part that Luda sings. Melanie huffed and puffed from the backseat, and said, "No Luda??? This is a messed up song...." and then complained about it the rest of the way home. I really don't think she is 3 years old......if this is 3, I am scared to think of how she's going to be at 13!!
