[Kate Parker Adams]

I'd say one of mine came at a school dance event last year.  The 
sing-a-long dj put on Brittney's "Oops I did it again" and six-year-old 
Nicky sat there listening to its tale of constant coquettish deceit with a 
concerned look on his face while the fifth grade girls gyrated and sang along.

About halfway through the song Nicky announces "This is awful.  This is 
really wrong!  I wouldn't want to be her friend!  That girl in the song 
sure is mean!".

That boy may dance to anything, but at least he's listening critically to 
the lyrics.  SCORE!

And he couldn't stand Barney either!
