Cedar: What’s this one called?

Dad: Luscious Jackson In Search of Manny.

Cedar: Oh. (He attempts to say “luscious” a few times and gives up.

(He puts on side 2 by accident. I just leave it.)

Dad: So you picked this one out. What do you think?

Cedar: Kind of boring. 

Dad: How about we listen a little more?

Cedar: Daddy did you know this is actually Teenage Rock N’ Roll Machines?

Dad: What? No.

Cedar: Yeah it is.

Dad: You mean The Donnas?

Cedar: Yeah.

Dad: This isn’t the Donnas.

Cedar: Yes it is!

Dad: Dude. I bought the record. It’s not.

Cedar: But the singing is the same. Kind of.

Dad: (Keep On Rockin’ It ends) So you put this record on. What do you think? 

(He doesn’t stop break dancing and meowing to our cat.)

Dad: You know this is actually Side 2? (I flip the record over and put on Let Yourself Get Down and let it play to the end.)

Dad: So what do you think of this song?

Cedar: Kind of boring.

Dad: Boring?

Cedar: Yeah, it’s not interesting to me. I just like kind of punk rock. This isn’t punk rock.

(He switches to 45rpm)

Cedar: Now it’s Alvin speed. (he starts the record again.)

Dad: You like it better now?

(he is grinning and spinning on his back on the floor nodding)
