She moves like...

At dinner last week, we got to talking about what day of the week William has his "specials" (library, music, art, PE).  For the life of me, I cannot remember what day of the week is what special.  Even if he tells me what he did when he gets home, 15 minutes later I cannot remember.  To combat this, he always wears tennis shoes in case of PE, always has his art shirt with, keeps his library book in his backpack and wears play clothes that can get dirty in either PE or art or at lunch.

On this particular day, Amelia had preschool and her school has PE one day a week while she is there.  As I was asking William if he had PE at school that day (for the 40th time in five minutes), Amelia jumped in.

Amelia:  I had PE today!  I had PE today at school with Coach K_______ (seems unfair to put her name on the internet)!

Daddy: You did?
Amelia: Yes!  Yes I did!
Mama: What did you do in PE today?
Amelia: We listened to music about a silly guy!
Mama: You did? (I'm envisioning Raffi or the Wiggles or other preschool set type music)
Amelia: YEAH!!!   Did you know that Jagger is a funny guy?  He LOVES to dance and so do I*!

(((John and are looking at each other, participating in a silent volleyball game.  I am insisting he handle this one by raising my eyebrows.  He is slightly shaking his head and staying silent. We are also both struggling not to laugh)))

Mama: Really??? (this is all I can manage without laughing.  Laughing or ranting because my 4 year old is listening to music about a man who is.......perhaps not the role model I would want to expose my child to at this moment in her life.  I'm thinking more along the lines of when she is 30.)

Amelia: Yes!  He does lots of kinds of dance moves when he sings!

Mama: (the horror....they've taught my child how to dance like Mick Jagger.  I don't want to ask....) He does?

Amelia: Yes!  He dances like a choo choo train when he dances (circles her arms around).  He also climbs a rope (climbing move with her arms).  Then he walks like a duck (a very authentic duck waddle follows).  He also likes to point at people when he sings (pointing follows).

Mama: ........**
Daddy:......huh!  Wow Amelia!  That is a lot of dancing!

**I want to ask about this at school.  I really do.  I just haven't yet because I worked so hard to find the right preschool for her and spent so much time researching and comparing......I cannot find out this kind of information and not feel a little disappointment.....



Which, I have to say I prefer this song over William coming home and singing this one last year:
