On the way home from school this afternoon, Punkin Jr. and I were listening to 70s on 7 on XM. It was a nice break for me from all the schlub (nice sweet music) we usually listen to.
Punkin Jr.: Mom, that's the Goofy song!
Mamahan: Huh?
PJ: It’s THE GOOFY SONG.
I check the XM display and it’s Peaches and Herb singing “Shake Your Groove Thing”. Ohhh. She recognized the song from the Goofy movie that she’s been watching over and over on her DVD player in the car. I end up turning the radio off so she can turn on her DVD player. She found the scene in the movie where they have a dance and the Peaches and Herb song plays.
PJ: See, Mom, I fastforwarded it backwards. Do you hear it?
Ah. Peaches and Herb would be so proud.

We pull up to McDonald’s for dinner before going to see the Christmas lights at the giant corporate hotel. Whatever. You go to McDonald’s too. There seemed to be a lot of whispering going on between PJ and the Big Hairy Monster.
BHM: We’re going over there to grocery shop tomorrow (pointing at the blue grocery store).
PJ: Just you and me?
BHM: Yeah.
PJ: Good, because I don’t like shopping with Mommy.

We drive to the beautiful hotel with the enormous lights display. We visited the outdoor activities that included seeing reindeer, playing in the (manmade) snow, making s’mores and overall good Christmas cheer.
PJ: Hey, can I pet the reindeer?
MM: I don’t know, but I’ll ask.
PJ: If you can’t pet the reindeer, why is there hand sanitizer?
Dang, little ones ask the tough questions.
