Cyclone

The wife has three younger brothers, two of which are significantly younger than she is.  Because they are young and trendy, they are the “cool uncles.”  A negative aspect of this relationship is that my kids get way too much exposure to video games and rap music. 

Two years ago I was bringing the boys home from basketball practice when they, of course, made me turn the stereo to a rap station.  The chorus of the song that was on repeated, “She moves her body like a cyclone.”  As if this wasn’t bad enough, five year old Lunch Meat proceeded to tell me, “I saw this video at Grandma’s house.   She really does move her body like a cyclone….”  I couldn’t help but think to myself, “Oh boy, where is this one going,” when he finished, “….it’s DISGUSTING!!!” 

The two lessons I learned from this experience are 1) I needed to more closely monitor the music my children listen to and 2) keep encouraging my boys that it really is disgusting when women move their bodies like a cyclone for at least 10 more years.
