Ever since she was a baby, she has always had the strangest obsession with stuff from the 80s. For example: her favorite movie is Labyrinth. She is currently on a Pee Wee Herman kick. She has stolen my Rainbow Brite DVDs. The list could go on all day. Anyways, she is convinced that I am going to marry the Goblin King (David Bowie circa 1986), and refuses to believe that he has aged in the past 25 years.

EVERY time we get into the car, my child demands that I play this song. She knows every word. My five year old can sing this song with more emotion and force than most grown people that I know. It is outstanding. I just cannot help but crack up when she belts it out. She is off key through its entirety and she sounds like a munchkin. The song is cheeseball hilarious and she gets pissed when I laugh at her. What can I do?
Heaven help me if she decides to obsess over Bryan Adams.
very very cute post, but I warn you, come a certain age she won't want to be called Bug and she will come up with some godawful common name instead. When very young, my daughter Samantha, who goes by Sam now, was called Mugwump, Mugsy or Muggers and decided at age 8 or 9 that she hated this, but before we could go back to her real name she went through several identities. I was very glad we finally settled on the name she was given at birth.
