Musician

Van loves listening to pop music on the radio. In fact the other day he told me,
Van: "I think instead of digging up dinosaur bones when I get big, I'm going to be a singer"
Me: "Like on the radio?"
Van: "yeah."
Me: "We'll have to start up those piano lessons."


So in a related category, I need to have a recurring piece called, 'pop lyrics interpreted by a 5 year old'

Van: "Mom you know my favorite song, that exit song?"
Me: "Yeah"
He means the song, 'Don't' by Ed Sheeran. The album cover has an X on it. So Van calls it 'that exit song'.
Van: "That song says, 'A butt loves Jen'"
Me: "What? someone loves Jen?"
Van: "yeah. A butt."
Me: thinking...thinking...thinking..."OH, he says, 'a bottle of gin'"
Van: "oh"

Luckily he didn't ask what that is.

There was another time we were listening to the song 'Habits' by Tove Lo.
It's essentially about a girl trying to get over a breakup with drinking, drugs, and partying. Not a great song for kids, I know, but we were driving and I wasn't really thinking about it.
The chorus goes
 'Gotta stay high, all the time to keep you off my mind'

Van: "She has to climb up really high to stay away from that person huh?"
Me: "yep."
