I would love to have a transcript of many of the conversations that our children have amongst themselves. I happened to overhear this exchange today between Léah and Gabriel.
Background: The Grammys were on in Costa Rica today nearly a full 2 weeks after they were aired at the end of January. They were dubbed in Spanish so that might account for the delay.
(Léah heads outside this morning to tell the two younger ones.)
Léah: Tonight’s “The Grammys”!
Gabriel: What’s “The Grammys”?
Léah: You know… Taylor Swift, Céline Dion…
Gabriel: What about “High School Musical”?
Léah: *Not* “High School Musical”…
Gabriel: Michael Jackson!
Léah: No, he won’t be there. Céline will be singing for him. (Pause) We are going to be eating popcorn in front of the show.
Gabriel: Oh my G-d! I love to eat popcorn in front of the show.
(10 second pause)
Gabriel: What about “The Jonas Brothers”?
(End of conversation)
Both High School Musical and The Jonas Brothers are properties of Disney which clearly indicates that the Disney Empire own the hearts of today’s youth.
