“Mom, I have something to tell you.” My eight year old looked away from me and weighed her options while inhaling deeply and gaining composure.

“Mom, if I tell you this, please don’t be mad. I just feel better if I get this off my chest and I know you won’t be mad but I’ll feel better so here goes….”

I finished chewing my handful of raisins and focused in on Ellie’s confession.
“Okay, so we were listening to some music and the first thing is, the one song said ‘rude girl’ and the other song said ‘sexy chick’.

Huh.

I thanked Ellie for sharing her concern over the unforgivable song lyrics with me, hugged her and hummed “I like big butts and I can not lie” as I did the reverse running-man out of her room.

What is the matter with the world today?
