doing something right

it's a well-known fact in my little family, that if we're driving in the car and i start screaming, it's probably because steve perry is on the radio. the kids just know. and what's funny is that they used to roll their eyes around and dismiss me as weird, fair enough. but now, they kind of get it, i know this because now when "don't stop believin'" (my favorite of favorites) comes on, we turn it up real loud and everyone in the car rocks out. it's no longer a one-mom rock concert going on.

so the other day, ethan and i were running errands at the mall. while we stopped for a minute to grab a quick bite from chick-fil-a (best nuggets ever), and ethan gets this real excited look in his eyes and looks at me with his eyebrows perked. then i realize, he hears steve perry playing over head and ethan starts jamming out, inlcuding singing along! he knows the words! ha ha ha. and then, in my moment of delighted surprise, i thought to myself, "i must be doing something right, because all my kids, even the three year old, knows a classic when he hears one".
