Explicit lyrics.....WARNING TO ALL PARENTS!

This is one of my worst confessions as a parent to date.

We recently took a few days away to Burry Port and in order to limit the usual "falling out" incidents during the journey to our destination, we have discovered the benefit of giving our old mobile phones as new personal music players for #1 & #2.

This serves a few purposes:
  1. Both are engrossed in their music rather than annoying each other.
  2. They can sing along (just like there is no one listening) whilst we snigger at the odd duff note.
  3. We can listen to #3 discuss the importance of having her dummy because being in the car on a journey naturally means it is time for a sleep.
Anyway, whilst cruising past Hirwaun.....(we did not stop), we heard #2 singing along to "Right About Now" by Fat Boy Slim.........she was repeating "Funk Soul Brother" in tune and with much determination.   

I quickly asked the "nearest and dearest" whether he had selected tracks for her playlist or had the whole albums transferred across from the PC hard-drive to her phone? to which he assured me that only select tracks had been selected.   Phew I thought.......

As we passed Llanelli and neared our destination, I heard a little snigger and glanced back in the rear view mirror so see #2 nodding her head to a beat, then removing the headphones and saying to #1, "listen to this".
