I know that writing about cool things my kids have done is right up there with writing about how a nation lost its innocence in the 60's or how baseball or fly fishing brought me and my taciturn old man together on the list of the annoying things to write about, but here goes.
So the kids are getting ready for school this morning, and just out of the blue, as he's walking around looking for his homework, the boy busts out with,
"I'm the king of rock! There is none higher! Sucka MC's should call me" and he stops rapping but continues searching for homework, and both girls, who are also busy with their pre-school preparations, bust out with, "sire!"
Boy: "To burn my kingdom, you must use"
Girls: "Fire!"
Boy: "And I won't stop rockin' till I"
Girls: "Retire!"
It ended there, and everyone went back to their business as though nothing exceptional had happened. This is what made it extra cool to my way of thinking--I guess their mindset is, on any given morning, I might be called upon to spontaneously perform a RUN-DMC song in their call-and-response style, so I guess I just need to be ready.
Truly, they are the king and queens of rock.
