Tonight at supper I nonchalantly asked my 11-year old what his favorite football team was and his reply was Jack (his brother)

So then I tried , what is your favorite rock and roll band? "Pearl jam"

Ok.

And what is your favorite Pearl jam song? "Given to fly"

Ok. This one I knew

What is your second favorite Pearl jam song "brain of j"

Ok....this one I kinda suspected ...and your third ?

"No way". Oh.

And by now I am grabbing my pen and amazed, continue

4th? "Lowlight" (as his pizza gets shoved in)
5th? "Dissident"
(I have to count) 6th? "Light years"
7th "animal"
8th "faithful"
9th? 'green disease" I start crying (to myself)
10th "small town"

See, he doesn't offer up anything in the way of conversation , so this discussion tonight is the most amazing one I ever had with him.

So there

do i sound like an insensitive jerk there? not my intention.

but anyway, has your kid discovered the bootlegs yet, or would his head explode?

Yes, perservating. No, not mine, more middle of the road.

Just the bootlegs I own, I suppose
