The Family That Listens to Take That Together...

I continue with the project of inflicting Take That on my family. So far it seems to be working.

Last week, the Sweetie, Ros and I were taking her to daycare, and I realized the Sweetie was humming something to himself.

Me: What are you humming?
Sweetie: (sheepishly) Patience
Me: (triumphantly) Yessssss.
Ros: What?!
Me: Daddy was singing Patience.
Ros: Let's all sing Patience!

And so we did, for the two blocks until I peeled off to the subway.

Also, Ros asked me to make her a mix CD for her daycare. Apparently the kids can take in a CD of songs they like and the teacher will play it.

Along with The Beatles' Yellow Submarine (always a favourite) and a number of kids songs, she request three Take That songs: Patience (of course), Never Forget (which she likes dancing along to when I have The Circus DVD on), and Shine.

Except, adorably, she calls Shine "Sparkle."

Clearly, she realizes that Mark Owen is the sparkliest pop singer in the English speaking world:
