Can A Song Give You Insight To Your Child's Behavior?

Okay, so the title sounds like some formal type of paper/article that I found. Not so much really.

This is more of an observation on my part. This morning while sitting here going through my normal morning routine, (checking email, iVillage, blogs ect) I had iTunes on as normal. Junior did his normal squirming to most of the songs that played however, he really started moving when Chris Cagle's "Cause The Chicks Dig It" came on. Those of you non-country fans, I'm going to post the video that I found from Youtube on here... but the overall thought does kind of scare me.



My husband wasn't the wild and crazy type... more of the quiet one you had to watch out for. I've been told stories of when he was little and wanted to go outside and work on the ranch equipment and his grandpa wasn't moving fast enough (meaning getting off the couch) so he asked where the grease points on the rake where... from what I hear there is nothing scarier then a 5/6yr old with a grease gun standing in the kitchen. (My in-laws grow their own hay). Then there is the time he climbed under his daddy's truck with a screw driver and a wrench. Somewhere around the same age - oh and the truck was brand-new or close to it. As he got older he got into dirtbikes and rode motorcross. He use to tell me all the time, boy or girl our kids where gonna do it too..

I was the one that you heard and saw coming. Open to trying anything atleast once (in terms of being a dare-devil that is). Couple my husband's behavior as a youth with my own and my son's new found love of this song... I think I'm in for a world of hurt!!!! What do you think?

lol There's still time. I was more like a combo of you and Chris. If you ticked me off, I was like you - you heard me coming. If you really ticked me off, I was more like Chris. So far the boys aren't anything like me in the respect...ignoring Gavin's dx of course. ;)

So you'll be fine. Just remember that some of Jr's personality will come from "nuture" as well. ;)
