MissEight: Mom?
Me: Ya?
MissEight: I took my iPod to school yesterday so I could --
Me: (frowning) Oh no no no no no. You know you can't do that.
MissEight: I know I know. I just had to play everyone my favorite three songs. I won't do it again. Can I play them for you?
Me: OK.
MissEight: (smiling) I'm going to play them 3-2-1, and 1 is my most favorite but I really really like them all. No. I am going to add 4 too.
Me: Go for it.
MissEight: OK. Number 4 is "A-Punk." (ed. Vampire Weekend) This used to be my favorite Number 1.
Number 3 is the Dandy Warhols. I love singing this. (ed. "Plan A")
Number 2 is Deerhunter. (ed. "Coronado") Does the guy know you made that video for this?
Me: Well, I don't know! I know the guy who played sax on it liked it.
MissEight: That's cool. It's a nice video.
Me: Thanks, punkin.
MissEight: And Number 1! When are we going to do this one, just you and me? I can play the drums. (ed. The Beatles, "Help")
Me: (smiling) Soon, I hope. That would be fun.
