przedRos will frequently get on a kick where she wants to hear the same song constantly so she can learn the lyrics. Fortunately, she has so far always done this with songs I like. (Mancunian Way, Wooden Boat.) Her fave of the moment is Robbie Williams' Let Me Entertain You.
Leaving aside the wisdom of letting an eight-year-old listen to a song with the line "shake your ass, come over here," (hey, at least there's no f-bomb in this one) it's led to the occasional interesting question.
Ros: Why does he say "Little Bo Peep has lost his sheep?
Me: Because Robbie likes to play with gender....Do you know what gender is?
Ros: Yeah.
Half an hour later.
Ros: Why does Robbie like to play with gender?
Me: That's a good question. ::launches into a discourse on the frequency of cross-dressing in English culture::
