Last night I walked into Matilda's room to tuck her in. She had her CD player on, as she usually does, but she wasn't listening to her usual CD. In fact, I recognized that low-grumble that was emanating out of the speakers.
"Are you listening to Tom Waits," I asked, a little taken aback.
"Yeah," she said.
"!!!!!!!," I said.
"It's on the Shrek 2 soundtrack. I think it's called 'Little Drop of Poison'."
So we chatted a bit, I kissed her and left to get a drink. As I was walking down the hallway I heard something else coming from her CD player.
"Are you listening to Nick Cave?"
This is all a little to weird. Not that I'm complaining, of course. Though I am worried. I mean, Tom Waits and Nick Cave? She'll be drinking bourbon and quoting Milton by 7th grade.
