Taking Care of Nana!

 You probably don't need to be informed that music has been overrun with explicit lyrics since Crosby, Nash, Stills and Young were leading the charts!

Members of my family have a long-standing habit of changing lyrics to suit our moods but even then, we pretty much kept the language clean.

My 10-year-old great granddaughter was in the car with me earlier this week, humming a beautiful melody. I wanted to hear more. I asked her about the song and artist. 

Exited to shared her love for the songs of her favorite musician but especially the love for the song she was humming, she hummed it a little louder.

"That is beautiful! Will you sing it for me?" I asked.

A deep wrinkle developed between her eyebrows and her mouth kind of twitched a bit. 

Though she sings out loud all day long while she is here with me, she said she would try to find a version of the song "without explicit lyrics" and share that with me!

I love it. My great granddaughter is going to protect me, a nana, fluent in trucker-speak, from explicit lyrics.

She makes me smile!

  1. Hahahahahaha! I guess you never use explicit language around her and that's why she's under such a misapprehension about the need to protect your poor innocent ears, lol!

  2. I love that. Respectful! Although a lot of rock 'n roll was not explicit lyrics there are a few rock song that have a lot of innuendo. :-)

    1. I love it, too. She is (mostly) respectful but we all have our moments!

      I actually prefer innuendo but my brain often cuts explicit comments that my mouth can't resist cashing!
