Things I Can Agree on

Whoever thought it was a good idea to have a commercial about a guy snoring? I mean, I get he is snoring the gear shifting in his fancy car, but it sounds like snoring, and it sets off all my "OMG, I WILL NEVER SLEEP AGAIN" buttons. I can not even listen to it in the background.

A few months ago, I thought the older girl nieces to a Twenty One Pilots concert. They played their cover of "Can't Help Falling in Love" and the girls and I and the whole audience sang along, and I was instantly charmed. I promptly ran home and made my VVC vid.

So Death Sheep V because she is a kid, has decided that Twenty One Pilots are her favorite band. (Of course they are! My favorite band was Kiss when I was six because that's what my big brothers listened to.)

So flash forward to Thursday, and it's Family Dinner Night, and it's that time after Wheel of Fortune, after Wiffel Ball on the front lawn, right before bed, when Death Sheep wants to put on a performance.

"Put on a 21 Pilots song, Aunt Barkley!"

And the heaven's rejoiced that the Frozen monopoly is over!

So I know she's looking for Tear in my Heart because no one knows what it means, we just like to sing:
The songs on the radio are okay
But my taste in music is your face

But I consider the audience, me, V2.0, Death Sheep V, Egg Roll, Mom, Dad, brother, and I felt a good old generational gap bridger would be in order. So I put on "Can't Help Falling in Love" and Death Sheep started, and after my mom came around on the idea of cover songs ("I know this song. This can't be 21 pilots!!!") we all joined in and it was delightful.
