Mother of the Year, that's me.

The other day I was, again, playing my iPod playlist. No, I haven't edited it yet, why do you ask?

So "The Scotsman," from the Dr. Demento greatest hits album, came on. And when it was done, from the back seat I heard, "Ring ding did-ell. Again!"

Three times we played that one.

Eventually the calls from school are going to be highly entertaining.

I am, in this vein, working up a "We're better parents than this, anyway" playlist. Thus far I have:

The Rake's Song - the Decemberists
one or the other of the Queen's songs from The Hazards of Love
The Mariner's Revenge Song - the Decemberists
Stay With Me - Into the Woods
Mother - Pink Floyd
Whatever that "Is that my mother on the phone?" song is by the Police
Something from Sweeney Todd, probably Todd's version of "Joanna." Or maybe both versions, actually, when you think about it.

I'm sure there are more. In fact, as I write this I can think of two more. But that's the start.
