A couple of weeks ago, I played the video for Rebecca Black’s smash hit “Friday” for my eight year old daughter. I was curious what she would think of it. She thought it was ok, but nothing special. She feels similarly about Justin Bieber, though she goes so far as to say that she really dislikes his music (we discourage the word ‘hate’ around here, even in such understandable circumstances).
That response has me rethink two things: First, I may not be the world’s worst parent after all, and second, there may be hope for the world when my kids are in charge after all.
