The clash of the ages...............



"Mom, that music is horrible" quoth my elder child as I was rockin'- out to ACDC whilst driving the little pre-pubescent darling home from school. "Could you turn it down?!"
I couldn't help but smile.

Wait a minute, aren't I supposed to be saying that to her about her music? Did I EVER say to my mother "turn that God-awful stuff off" while she was enjoying the Big Band Standards from back in the Lawrence Welk Era?
No, I didn't.

Instead, I did what every other kid did, I cringed and wondered about a more innocent time when people probably wore a lot of pastel shades and flossed more often. I remember thinking it must have been much more BORING back in Mom's days of youth. I don't think boring is exactly the word my girl would have come up with to describe her impression of the time around ACDC's reign.....

Ha ha ha....
Cheap Trick's cult classic followed (you know the one) and when I started to sing loudly and car-dance (at the stoplight) I then got the full blown "eye-roll" with simultaneous loud exhalation through the teeth.
Rockin' Mama rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. I never really liked ACDC, they were too hard for me, but DON'T tell her! ; )
