Hipster Kids Say The Darndest Things: Rock Edition
"Daddy, Leon says there's a kind of music called steel."
Pause.
"You mean metal?"
"Yeah, metal. What is metal anyway?"
"Well, it's like rock and roll, but really loud and extreme and grinding."
"That sounds good."
"It is good. Sometimes."
"I like loud music."
"OK."
"But I don't like crowds."
"OK."
"That's why I want to listen to rock at home, but I don't want to go to concerts."
"Your choice, kid."
"Daddy?"
"Yes, son?"
"Guess what two things I'll never do?"
"What?"
"Kill myself, or watch The Backyardigans."
"OK, but if you had to pick one?"
"Watching The Backyardigans. But it would be close."
The boy is clearly not yet ready for Nirvana.

Oh man, THANK YOU for this post. One more person 'swears' to me that I can't raise a kid without letting them watch all the ridiculous, trite, STUPID kids' shows and I'll explode.
