Genetics. Ain't they interesting? Three moments that unfolded this weekend, thanks to Gertrude, that only serve to prove that the proverbial apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. For a three-year-old she's pretty far along the road to geekdom.
Gertrude on "Pooh's Heffalump Movie", asked to mom:
"Who wrote this movie?"
Gertrude, upon listening to "Where You Lead" from Carole King's Tapestry (also the theme from Gilmore Girls).
"I like this song. Who wrote it?"
At Aunt Eileen's house, after Aunt Eileen told her she'd make her a copy of a Gilmore Girls CD (yes, she's a music mooch):
"Hey, where's my Gilmore CD?"
Finally, last night while trying to fall asleep. She always listens to a CD I made her.
"Hey dad? Is this Jeff Tweedy singing?"
That last one is kind of odd. I know I've mentioned Wilco around her. She always tells me that Wilco is my favorite. But I'm not sure I've ever actually mentioned who the brains behind Wilco is.
I swear I don't coach her. Genetics just dealt her a geeky hand.
