Tonight, Madeleine wanted to read me a chapter of the "Ivy and Bean" book she's currently in the middle of.
ME: Sure, you can read me a chapter. I love "Ivy and Bean."
MADELEINE: I know. "Ivy and Bean" is so good.
ME: I know, it's a really good series.
MADELEINE: Mommy? Is "Ivy and Bean" like, the MOST POPULAR of books for kids?
ME: I think it's probably one of the most popular, yes.
MADELEINE: But Mommy? If Taylor Swift wrote "Ivy and Bean," then it would be a DISASTER.
ME: It would?
MADELEINE: Yes. I do NOT like her. She's, like, trying to be, like, SO popular and she started singing all, like, POPPY.
ME: Yeah, you don't like her pop style?
MADELEINE: Yeah. And, like, when she sings "Bad Blood?" (shuddering) Ugh. TERRIBLE. Utterly TERRIBLE.
I guess Madeleine has some strong feelings about Taylor Swift. An artist who remains, for me, more or less innocuous. But who knows. Maybe if I take a good listen to "Bad Blood" I'll realize that it is UTTERLY TERRIBLE.
THAT'S RIGHT MADELEINE!!!!! GOOD GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Madeleine might have been having some conversations with Auntie Shannon!
ReplyDeleteI wonder who the Ivy and Bean equal would be in singing and songwriting?
