We are riding in my pickup to go get some food before we hunker down to play some games for the afternoon while their parents were away at some all day thing. I had my car's sound system connected to my phone and it was playing one of my playlists. I was not thinking about this at all.

Then, this tune started. I immediately hit the button to skip the song. The older one waited until I had to deal with driving to back it up and start it again. He and I did this a few times. I finally had to turn the radio off. (So that it would disconnect my phone. Little... angels.)

A few years later, when the older one was 14, he finally heard the tune.

He told me he didn't like it. LOL.

... doing the circuit in town and parking in the library parking lot. My two under 10 daughters wanted to ride the circuit like the big kids. So they sat in the back seat on their legs to look taller and younger, I put the mix tape a friend had sent me with this song on it, and got in the line with the stereo banging. The third cut was this song and I got us out of line and the stereo off.
