Ten Times

We drive to Applebee's. We put a tape in the deck: Great Big Sea's Road Rage, one of the best live albums ever. The opening song is a bouncing Newfoundland traditional song, "Donkey Riding."

The song ends. The audience cheers.

A small voice from the car seat.

"Riding?"

We humor him. We rewind. We play the song again.

"Riding?"

Humor. Rewind. Replay.

"Riding?"

Humor. Rewind. Replay.

"Riding?"

Psychic internal scream. Rewind. Replay.

He was very happy.

I can't listen to the album again for a few days.

And of course, this morning when we tried to play other Great Big Sea songs, he started calling for "Donkey Riding"...

Could be worse; could be Milli Vanilli...
