I read you all the time. First time commenting, but I loved this post. It brought tears to my eyes. It makes me sad how quickly our kids have to move through their childhood. You are a good daddy, daddy s.

It’s completely irrational, but I’ve always had a wierd reaction to a group of grown up men catering towards little kids. Thanks for providing a little insight into “the Voldemort band”. I was able to b***h slap the irrational me into submission and appreciate the good things they seem to do with kids!!!

When I get a song stuck in my head (happens daily), I sometimes use “Good King Wenceslas” to get rid of it.

Awww…that’s so great that your little guy enjoyed the concert It’s crazy how fast kids have to grow up now. My little niece just turned 10 and I have the hardest time trying to pick out an age appropriate gift for her. She’s a tween now so I never know exactly where she’s at. Well, to make a short story long, she went as Hannah Montana for Halloween this year and I talked to her about that and asked her about it. The conversation went something like this:
Me: So, you still like Hannah Montana then?
Her: Oh yeah…
Me: How about High School Musical (was cool at 9 but who knows at 10)?
Her: Yeah I still like that too – I have….(here is where she lists the awesome HSM stuff she has lol)….it’s just that…well…just not the princessy stuff anymore..
Me: Like the Disney princesses and stuff?
Her: Yeah…well…not in public anyway

Haha…so…much like your son who can’t be seen with The W***** autographed poster, my 10 year old niece can own princessy stuff just no one can know about it LOL. The innocence is still there..just not out in the open as much…which does make me a little sad knowing she’s growing up so fast. But I sure do love seeing this awesome person that she’s becoming

But did the Pirate with the tickleing implement sing like Ozzy Osbourne? That was the highlight of the show when we took my offspring a few years back. My two were so into them, despite a 3 year age difference, I had my mom make them t-shirts that were all the different colors of Those Who Shall Not Be Named. Many parents wanted to know at which souvenier stand we got them at.

Now, I do have a t-shirt with the ORIGINAL cast of Those Who Shall Not Be Named on it, if Jayna would like it. My youngest has outgrown it.

With you on the punching. We’re done with Those Who Must Not Be Named in our household (youngest just turned 9 today), but we still find ourselves singing their goofy songs occasionally.

Growing up is hard sometimes. I’m positive that’s why my almost-12-year-old has a Peter Pan complex.

Shit, I think that’s why I have a PP complex.

I punch the first little shit who makes fun in the face for you.

Poor little man. It’s a cruel world out there. Sucks that kids realize this so young.

My youngest was really into the Wiggles back in the day (yeah, he’s 7.5 years old now. so old). I always thought the reason was because those doofs act just like their dad does so it was comfortable )

As annoying as their songs can be, I think that the fact that 3 of the founding guys were pursuing early education does make a difference in what they do. They truly love kids (not just the $$ they make off said kids parents) and it shows.

I have kept a couple of the Wiggles VHS tapes (yeah, that’s how long ago it was) for nostalgia sake.
