Apple Bottoms

Literally spent 25 minutes dissecting the song "Apple Bottom Jeans" last night in the car alone with Kaitlin.  She had her recital yesterday and the opening number had a snippet of that song in there, and she fell in love.  Awesome.  It was the part that goes "Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur, the whole club was looking at her, she hit the floor, next thing you know, shorty got low low low low low low low...."  That was it, but immediately after the recital she asked me "Mommy, did you hear that song they played for the first dance, about apple bottoms?" (they were backstage but watching on a TV before they went on and performed).  I told her yes I heard it, and I sang that whole part for her and she was AMAZED that I knew all the words.  My stock shot up a few points in her book.  So cut to 6 hours later on the way home from watching Ginger's football game, just her and I in the car, and she asks me to sing that song again, and she was just all over it.  Asked me to repeat it again and again until she had all those lines memorized.  Then we discussed what each line meant.  I told her Apple Bottom Jeans were jeans that had a picture of an apple on the pocket, no?  ;-)  And she was especially intrigued by "shorty".  "Mommy, is she a kid?  Or an adult who is just small?  Why do they call her shorty?  Is she a normal sized adult?  Does she know that they are calling her shorty?"  And then "How was she low?  Did she just have her hands on the floor?  Was she laying down?  What was she doing down there?"  I mean it was pretty much a mind melting conversation.  But it did lead into a good talk about how she will be in kindergarten next year and she may hear things and see things that maybe she shouldn't, but she can always talk to Mommy about them.  Yikes.  Hoping that little nugget sticks with her.  She is such a perceptive little girl, I have much to fear for.
