Rocking Out
July 26, 2007
Rio: I wanna listen to some music.
Me: Ok, let’s put on the French Cafe CD. That one’s mellow.
Rio: No, I want something that really rocks.
Me: You want something… that rocks?
Rio: I think I need to rock out. That French music just isn’t fast enough for the kind of moves I need to do. How about… The Gossip.
Me: Ok. Put on The Gossip.
So he put on “Standing in the Way of Control” and danced for at least half an hour doing all kinds of awesome dance moves. He was jumping and spinning in the air, walking on his hands, punching the air and running in circles. Afterwards he collapsed in a heap on the floor. After peeling off his sweaty clothes, he proclaimed The Gossip to be his new favorite band. “This CD rocks even more than Bruce Springsteen”, he told me between licks of his popsicle.
