Cookies and Mashed Potatoes (and other random things)

"Mama, you broke my dream machine," my eight year old son said to me this morning when I woke him up.

"Sorry, Bubba," I said. "What were you dreaming about?"

"Cookies and mashed potatoes."

I tried not to laugh.  "Really?  Was it a good dream?"

"Yeah.  Because mashed potatoes are my favorite food, and I was hoping for a cookie after breakfast."

(Keep hoping kid.  It's not going to happen!)

Then I went to my daughter's room to wake her up.

After she cleared her morning groggies, she had this question:  "Mom, what's the difference between a hippy and a groovy? "

Huh?

"Well, a hippy is a dude from the seventies with long hair.  He usually wears bell-bottom pants and funky shirts.  I have no idea what a groovy is."

"I think he's a surfer dude," my daughter suggested.

Okay.  Whatever.  I have no idea where this conversation came from, but if any of you have an answer to what the difference between a hippy and a groovy is, please let me know!





Finally, I'd like to share my daughter's new favorite song:  It's number one on the charts and it's called the Harlem Shuffle.  She made me watch this video last night. ( I think the dude in the orange pants might be a groovy.)       

  All I could do was shake my head and wonder what this world is coming to.  They call this music?  I think I'll go listen to a Beethoven Symphony now.  You all have a nice day!
