How to confuse a 13 yr. old

A typical conversation in our house...

G-Man: What do we need to get at Target?

Me: The first thing on my list is mousse…

G-Man: You’re going to buy a moose at Target?

Me: No, mousse is something I put in my hair.

G-Man: Oh, so it’s shampoo.

Me: No, I put it in before I blow dry my hair to help style it.

G-Man: So it’s gel.

Me: No, it’s actually a foam.

G-Man: Is it spelled like moose?

Me: No, it’s French. It has a “U” in it.

G-Man: So it’s spelled mouse?

Me: No, two “S”s.

G-Man: Mouses?

Me: M-o-u-s-s-e

G-Man: Do I need to use mousse?

Me: No, most boys don’t use mousse unless you’re the Bee Gees

G-Man: Who are the Bee Gees?

Ugh.

LOL! "Who are the BeeGees?"

OMG LMAO!!!!

You must now subject your child to the Bee Gees for his own good. Poor L has grown up having to listen to stories from his father about them. How his dad only had 1 8track and they had to listen to it constantly. So now whenever we hear the Bee Gees we all get to laugh at hubby's misery.

As a parent, you would be doing G-man a disservice by NOT exposing him to the Bee Gees. iTunes bee gees essentials is a must in my humble opinion! LOL
