My daughter and I have been on a bit of a music kick the last two weeks. We started with the (early) Beatles and she loved them, lots of energy and dancing. We graduated to some 70’s folk and she loved that too. Then I thought she would probably love some of the high energy 80’s songs.... Big mistake. I played Meatloafs beautiful “I’d do anything for love”. The rest of the night was punctuated by random hums and broken lyrics to the song. First thing next morning (and I do mean first), she makes me up asking to hear the “love song”. So I make some coffee, turn the stereo on (7:20 am), and play her new favorite song with a healthy level of volume. The second it’s over she asks me to play it again. “Why not” I think. After getting her ready and listening to it two more times on her behest we pack the car ride for daycare. Fast forward to picking her up: as soon as I walk in I notice something strange is going on. Her teacher instantly gives me the biggest FU grin I’ve ever seen in my life. Apparently my little one was singing “I would do anything for love” on repeat for the entire day and even got most of the class to do the same. The teacher even downloaded and played the edited version so the kids could understand what she was singing. I gave a nervous smile to the teacher after being semi-scolded in front of a daycare class. The rest of the night was all talk about her new favorite song. It’s been like this the last two days.I’ve broken my daughter. I’m afraid Zeppelin is the only thing that can save her now. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2PyaRPQ
