The Scene: Driving  to School

Me: “Oh this is a good song!”

MaM: “Who sings it?”

Me: “U2″

MaM: “Huh? Me too? No, who sings it?”

Me: “U2…see, the letter U, the number 2″ (pointing to the radio display)

MaM: “That’s not a name. What’s the name of the boy singing?”

Me: “His name is Bono. The band, all together, is called U2″

MaM: “Oh. This is a good song”

These are the conversations we have on our way to school. Some days, I just want to keep driving with my girl, radio on, teaching her things she won’t learn in school……..
