My wife and I went out on a date last night. We ate sushi and got a manicure and pedicure together. Yes, I know I'm Metro. At least I will admit it. But I warn you guys, if you get a pedicure ONE time you will be hooked for life. Ok, enough of that. Back to the point. So, our babysitter was putting our children to bed last night and she was singing to our 3rd child Spencer who is 5. They were singing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and afterward she said, "Spencer, you sing good. You should be a rock star!" "I don't want to be a rock star," he said. "But your dad is a rock star," she said. To which he replied,"No he's not. He just plays, sings, and yells C'MON!" So there you have it, out of the mouth of babes.
