  I got to play Mom last night as I took my cousins to a basketball game,  Ben played in it,  while the other three watched ( pronounced tormented each other)  &  took notes.
 They won,  despite numerous,  &  I mean numerous bad passes,  &  lazy fouls (
Ben fouled out.  And I didn't have to hear some punk kid say that's why we'z the champs of dis league. over &  over &  over &  over again.
 Anyway,  back to my story.  On the way home we were listening to one of my mix CD's.  Mikey wanted to have a sing- a- long so we all sang to Mya's Ghetto Superstar ,
 Sean Paul's Get Busy &  Laurel did her,  Back that Thang Up dance.  After failed attempts to edit Eminem's Sing For The Moment ( which is very hard if all you know is the Aerosmith part)  I switched over to my urlLink Clarks Mix.
 To my surprise,  Laurel,  who's 8 ( I think)  inquires,  "
Wait,  isn't this urlLink On Saturday ?  SCREECH!  ( those were my brakes,  second &
 third exclamation points added for extra emphasis)  " Why yes,  yes it is!  She then informed me that she liked the song,  her friend makes her "
listen to it all the time.  You see she has this Dave Matthews/ Clarks mix.  ( be still my heart)  Meanwhile her older brothers &
 sisters sat there baffled.  So Laurel &  I had our own little sing- a- long to On Saturday :  We're breaking up,
 you're moving out,  on Saturday I'm losing friends,  I'm losing face,  I'm losing weight So get your things out of my place on Saturday On Saturday,  on Saturday,  on Saturday All the while Beth Anne sat there singing as well (
keep in mind,  this is the first time she's heard the song,  Ben sat there pulling out his hair yelling at Beth Anne to shut up cuz " you don't even know the words,  you're saying them a second late,  &
 Mikey no doubt thinking about the Wendy's food that was just out of arms reach in the front of the car.  Kudos to Laurel for knowing who the Clarks are!  oot beer Time to burn the girl a new CD!  I though about inviting her to the concert with us on Friday night,  but I don't think I could find her a fake ID in time.  Maybe next time.
