Oh Snap. A four year old is cooler than me.

So a few weeks ago the kids and I went to their friend Piper's 4th birthday which according to her mom, Lauren was thrown together the night before. If only my months long planned out get together could be so cool. Granted, by her own admission many of the ideas were Martha Stewart-hacked, but whatever. It was still ridiculously magazine worthy (Um yeah, its Martha so it's gonna be magazine worthy. Duh).

My kids had a blast and freaked out when it was time to go home. I had to get gas so on the way home I stopped to fill 'er up and got the kids a treat to soften the blow. I got them organic milk and gummie worms. I know. But I was thinking milk was a better choice than soda or juice. To highlight my bad nutritional choices both kids puked up said milk about 40 minutes later (at home thankfully) thus causing Aaron to accuse me all week of attempting to poison our kids with Gas Station Milk. Common sense should have told me that purchasing the only two cartons of milk in the mini mart was probably a bad idea. What pissed me off the most was that I paid a buck 45 for each of them(you'd think it was the barfing, huh? But no, it's the lost $2.90. Classic)

 

This post wasn't supposed to be dedicated to my mad parenting skillz, though. I was gonna tell you about the awesome CD that Lauren made for the kids at the party. It was full of Piper's favorite songs and, dude, that kid has some seriously awesome favorite songs. She is way cooler than me. My kids dig it, too, but mostly because they are Piper's faves not because of their musical merits. We'll work on that.

Did you ever see the Gilmore Girls Episode where Lorelai calls her ex on the night of her bachelorette party to tell him she's getting married and he disses on her finance's musical collection of Dave Matthews and Movie Soundtracks? No? It cut deep because they were totally dissing on my musical IQ right there.

Anyway, this got me thinking to what other people's favorite songs might be. This is a poorly disguised attempt to get the 411 on cool music because I am way too lazy to troll itunes for cool stuff. Post your top 5 (or 10 or whatever) favorite songs in my comments. If I can bribe Lauren into giving me an extra of Piper's cd, I'll send one to someone. At some point. Because as other winners of my giveaways can attest, I ain't so great with the mail. Maybe I'll bribe Lauren even more to mail it out for me. She's waaaay more responsible than me.
