Kids Just Want to Dance!

That I had to confirm I was 18 years of age or older in order to watch the video was clue number one.  LMFAO's video of the song, "Sexy and I Know It," has explicit content and requires parental control.

Ok, I'm over 18. Heck, I'm the parent! So I double-clicked, then watched and listened.

"I got passion in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it," repeats the refrain. "I pimp to the beat." "Ah, girl look at that body." And so forth. Wow, I think to myself, these lyrics ARE explicit. Then the camera zooms and my vision fills with wiggling penises. Seriously?! The more I watched the more confused I became.

Why is my 7-year old daughter singing LMFAO music and practicing the wiggle dance AT SCHOOL?

Start-Up Children

Magda, my 6 year old daughter, posted signs in the front window of our home. The construction paper marked with Crayola colors read: "AЯt for Sale $7".  She had asked her Daddy and I to hold a garage sale and when we begged off that option, she created her own! With a little paper, crayons, and an amass of scotch tape, her entrepreneurial spirit was born.
