Whenever the family is going someplace to meet …
And driving separate cars,
Nephew 2 likes to ride along with me.
Not so much for the company I think,
But because he likes to raid my Tupperware container filled with change for the Chi-town tolls.
Oh yeah,
And he likes to open and close and open and close and open and close the sunroof on the Amy-mobile.
Anyways …
Yesterday,
He plops himself in the front seat,
Buckles up,
And we proceed to have the following conversation:
“Do you have AM radio in your car or just the satellite?”
“I have AM radio, too. Why?”
“Can we listen to Radio Disney?”
“Sure.”
…. Since you been gooooooooooone,
I can breathe for the fiiiiiirst time.
I’m so movin’ oooon,
yeah.
yeah.
Thanks to you …
Now I get …
What I wannnnt.
Since you been gone.
As is my nature, I immediately began singing along.
“You know this song?”
“Of course. Kelly Clarkson, Since You Been Gone. It’s a great song.”
“It was No. 2 last week on the countdown.”
“Did you know that she won the first American Idol?”
“No, really? Do you know 1985?”
“Heck yeah boy, Bowling for Soup. Love it ….
Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that shes uncool
‘Cause she’s still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985”
“Wow. I like it song too. I voted for it to be No. 1. Do you know the song that’s on now?”
“Oh Grasshopper, that’s Ashley Simpson, Pieces of Me. It’s an okay song, but I really don’t like her much.”
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
“What’s so funny?”
“That my aunt should be listening to Radio Disney.”
“Whatever.”
“Really. I thought you only knew stuff from the 70’s.”
Apparently being a smart ass runs in the family !! š

Shaft,
Just keep those nukes hidden and locked up in a safe place (along with the holy hand grenade). Building that bomb shelter as we speak š
I’ll never forget the first time my nephew called me “Aunt Julia”.
=^_^=
21×2,that’s right! Ok, so maybe I am not quite the same age!!!
KKL feels old, and I feel really outa touch…spending the last four years taking evening law classes has put me outa touch with the entire rest of the world (TV, music, etc)…what a time warp!…this really sucks!…tell me it’s worth it, Amy!
McG!!! Give us a little warning before you take the shot. I just want to find a bunker before she drops the napalm. Run away, run away!
She’s only turning 21 this year š
(that’s 21×2 for those keeping count…lol)
I never know ANY of the songs or groups Amy mentions. I am the same age but she makes me feel very old!
Amy-wan,
so nice to see you posting on your blog again.
And, as usual, the neatest, funny content.
You’ve got a knack, girl!
Love and Hugzz!

OK, I’m old (my kids tell me-I don’t feel it), but love Kelly Clarkson! Her Breakaway CD is wonderful! I’ve listened to it a million times.
Kelly was in Tulsa a few weeks ago for a concert, but it sold out before I could get a ticket.
GRS in Trinidad in 17 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shaft: I’m sitting here cracking up in the middle of my ethics class because of your comment.
Amy, it’s more that I just spend too much time listening to Japanese music, and the radio here in Milwaukee is pretty lame.
I usually take the infamous Skyway though I think I have every exit and structure along the way into Chicago memorized, I don’t seem to remember I-Pass being available on the Skyway … though it might have something to do with Indiana. Any locals there care to correct me on my faulty memory ?? š
What??? No I-Pass?? Eventhough I know that they can track my every movement when driving on the Illoinois Toll-Way system, I refuse to pay double when paying in cash. I heard an ugly rumor that they were using the timing between toll booths to calculate my speed and to issue tickets. This lady always drives 70-75+ to keep from getting run over on the tollways.
Later,

I _like_ Weird Al. He has talent and a great sense of humor. Bowling for Soup should be so lucky! š
I thought the same thing Yodette !! š
Yodette, I might be offended.
I love “1985”! Have you noticed whoever the lead singer is on “1985”, he sounds just like Weird Al Yankovich? When I first heard it I thought it must be a new Weird Al song, even the content fit.
Too funny Alice … I really need to grow up, huh ?? LOL š
WOW!!! is all i can say, so nice to be someones aunt huh?
I find it kind of amusing that I don’t know two of the three songs in your post, and I’m a twenty-something.
