Move over Beatles

All of our kids love The Beatles. We listen to them in the car, we sing "All my loving" when we tub (The first line is close your eyes, it's perfect for rinsing out shampoo!), we might have a little Beatle mania. Josie has a poster in her room with a matching blanket. I was impressed when she could tell the difference between the band members. But when the boys jump on her bed and point up to the poster and say "John mom. John is green." I think huh, my kids are smart! If you mention The Beatles, both Will and Ben will start dancing and singing "A hard day's night".

But all that changed on Sunday, when we started our nightly dance party. Billy played Jackson 5. The boys begged us to play it again and again. Will kept asking, "who's that mom?" to which I had to reply "Jackson 5!" each time.

After nap today, Will asked me to play "Twiddly dee-dee dee song". I couldn't understand at first. Finally I said "Do you want me to play Rockin' Robin Will?" Then Ben said clear as day, "Jackson 5 mom. please. Jackson 5".

Don't worry Beatles... you'll always have a special place in our hearts.
