Things My Kids Say

Unless you've been completely out of touch with popular culture for the last several months, there's a good chance you've seen this video.


And probably at least one or two of the countless parodies. Like this one. Or this one. Or this one. Or (possibly the best one out there) this one from Saturday Night Live.

Not surprisingly, because they aren't out of touch with popular culture (even though I'd sometimes like them to be) my kids have seen this too. And several of the parodies. (Their favorite is the Annoying Orange.)

So the other day my daughter came in and asked me what time it was. I was where I couldn't see it, and she knows how to tell time, so I said "I don't know. What does the clock say?" And without missing a beat, she sang

          "Tick, tick, tick, ta-tick, ta-tick tock!
          Tick, tick, ta-tick, ta-tick tock!
          What's the clock say?!"

It was a beautiful moment.
