Jesse's Girl

My son has a new obsession. We have moved on from Sesame Street, Cars & Elmo to Rick Springfield. It all started when I Tivo'd The Oprah Show. Rick Springfield was the guest. I thought this might be interesting considering all the women in the audience. I started watching it and of course Rick Springfield played Jesse's Girl and the crowd of women went nuts. I had to show Mark this. I said look at all the 40 year old housewives going crazy. They were truly reliving their junior high, high school and college years all at once. It was a sight to behold. Christa that will be us once NYSNC and The Backstreet Boys start doing the casino tours in 20 years. So the next day I can't get the song out of my head. I remembered that I actually have that song on CD in my car. I pop it in on the way to the gym. The song is over. Grant: Again mommy, again. Play Friend song. I do over and over again until we arrive at the gym. Then he doesn't want to get out of the car because he wants to listen to "The Friend Song". We compromise and go in. An hour later we come back and he wants the same song played again! By this point I am a little tired of this song I try to listen to talk radio, he will have none of that. Two months later that darn song is still playing in my car. So if you hear Jesse's Girl coming from the car next to you it's not a 30 year old woman reliving her high school days it's just my toddler jamming away!
