Since we are on a brief break from school, the kids have been entertaining themselves today with Rock Band. I've been letting them play it way too long because it is one of those rare things that they all can do together. Jackson plays guitar. Ashton sings. Wesley drums, and Will dances. Mommy does dishes and laundry. Good times.
As I did the dishes I was also doing a little eavesdropping. As Jackson was resting from his 294 note streak (a proud accomplishment), Ashton said, "Jackson, come one when are we gonna do another jig?"
He laughed, and I thought he was about to correct her and tell her it was called a gig when he said, "Yeah hip people call it a jig."
I was laughing at the use of the word hip when I heard even more wisdom from my son.
"Michael Jackson is the King of Pop and Elvis is the King of Rock-N-Roll. I don't know who the king of Hip Hop is. Mom, who is the King of Hip Hop?"
To which I replied, "Me." I'm sure you can imagine the snorting and laughing that ensued. You're probably doing some of your own right now.
