In reply to Eddie. We're so progressive, Eddie! I know ALL about that silent cry. Kids are loving the song, belting it out, and I'm at the sink, doing dishes, weeping with memories. We are truly lucky to have kids that are sensitive enough to love certain songs, yet, at the same time, know how they affect us. You are so right. We are so lucky.

Absolutely Robyn. I have a song like that too. I try to avoid it but I’ll never for get the time my boy was little and I was doing the silent cry with tears rolling down my face and my little one ‘cuggled’ me for the whole song…he didn’t know why, just knew his mummy needed him. It’s lovely how we have both changed the meaning of our respective songs through our gorgeous kids xxx

In reply to Amy. You could be the only one. I think I'm so funny and I have no idea if anyone catches my $h#t. Please don't ever leave me.

Not only did I catch it. I I used that line after I read it. I can’t even believe your real and exist.

In reply to Eddie. I couldn't agree more, Eddie. I talk to my kids all the time about how music can bring back good memories but sometimes it brings back hard ones as well. There is a song (a song that they love) that I have an especially hard time with. My husband introduced them to it but I put it on my ipod bc they love it. Now, every time it comes on, JJ says "Mommy has a hard time with this song, but she knows we like it so she lets us listen, but sometimes she cries." Maybe that cuteness will be the "new" memory for me. :)

I think you are the only that caught that, thank you!! When they saw me, they were all like “WTF is SHE doing here?” But I came to have fun and if I had to MAKE them have fun with me, fine.

Please tell me that you caught the line about “Rockin’ Into the Night…” because that was one of their songs and I was so proud of myself that it fit so perfectly in my intro. Just tell me that you got it and I will believe you bc you are bananas amazing!

I don’t know the 38 specials but if they are an 80’s band I bet they rock 🙂 I would like to add another point…when we go and see bands, especially ones that take us back to our teens when life was very fluro and we were all in love with George Michael, music can evoke such memories. Personally every song that I love from the 80’s reminds me of a boy, a place, my friends and how I used to record the song on my cassette player, pausing after every line so I could write down the words and casually sing them word perfect at a party…oh the feeling of power that gave me…

In reply to Paula.

HAHAHAHA!!! I love that she didn’t even notice that he caught a ball and that is BIG!!! I bring magazines to Tiger’s games. Tell Mari that we can sit together and Brendan better not get in our way, we’re very busy… 🙂
