Yes, More Giggling. And?
Mr. Husband and I have very different opinions on music. While I swing wildly from pop to alternative to opera (LOVE Phantom so, so much) to modern rock, he sticks mainly with what I would call "noise." He might call it heavy metal or death metal or whatever, but all I hear is screaming, yelling, and something that doesn't at all resemble music.
Alexis, for her part, is pretty consistent in her choices. Mostly she sticks with pop music. We've had the Justin Timberlake phase, the P!nk phase, and are now currently having our brains eaten by the High School Musical phase. In between those phases, however, she will listen to stuff that doesn't seem to fit the typical 3-year old mold. For example, thanks to her father and his -ahem- "music," she can read the word "Opeth" and can recognize a few of their songs.
Whatever. That's about all I have to say about that.
Earlier this evening, I sat on the couch drafting a whole other blog post (which I'll post later this week) while Alexis sat on the floor happily playing with her dollhouse. For whatever reason, she happened to take note when Mr. Husband grabbed his iPod. She asked what he was listening to, and somehow thought "Six Feet Under" was "Sixteen Number One." Just in case you are REALLY FREAKIN' LUCKY and don't know what Sixteen Number One might be, it's from High School Musical 3. It's the first track on the CD (thus, "Number One"), and is probably called Sixteen Minutes (I could look, but that would require that I actually cared. I don't.). Let's just say that Zac Efron screaming at the top of his lungs is NOT AT ALL like Six Feet Under. Not even close.
In the words of Mr. Husband, Six Feet Under is kinda like what it would sound like if Cookie Monster sang death metal. Sounds charming to me, but for some reason, Alexis actually listened to it for a few minutes. At first she was all, "That's not Sixteen Number One!" but then she settled in for a good long listen.
I think she may have liked it.
That might have a little to do with what she decided it sounded like.

So very cute.
Is this what I have to look forward to? Because if it is? I. Can't. Wait.
Absolutely hilarious.
@Trinity--Don't get too excited. SOMEONE who spent too much time growling/belching made her throat all grumpy. That SOMEONE then ended up with a big ol' coughing fit. Now that SOMEONE just hacked up a lung (and the carrots from dinner) all over me.
It was funny at first. Or something.
Her laugh is just infectious! Love it!!
I, too, have wildly varying musical tastes from day to day, but also can't handle anything remotely as hard as death metal. Too much like noise for me.
I LOVE her laugh! It's wonderful! Sorry to hear she took it a little too far tonight...but that laugh is wonderful!
@Dave--It's our fault. We're the ones who were encouraging her to keep doing it because we LOVE that laugh. I've got 20+ minutes of video like that.
What a fantastic laugh!
She is so funny! My son heard her and had to come check out what was so funny! He giggled back!
i'm giggling myself.
but it's not nearly as cute.
That totally made my day. She has the best laugh ever.
To fully round out her musical experiences you need to introduce her to a little Country music as well. Maybe a little reggae too.
That makes my throat hurt! I love her giggles, though. I AM lucky enough not to know what Sixteen Number One is. However, we recently got some Kidz Bop cds from McDonalds and I keep getting the hear the first song over and over and over again.
That's reallycute!!
I’m with your husband.
I’m a fan of Speed and Death metal.
But actually, I think your selling it short a bit. Some of the groups actually do ascribe to the rules of musical composition and so it does qualify as music.
Meanwhile, a lot of pop doesn’t.
Crazy, huh?
She is too cute!!
That is so cute. Love her giggle!!!!
She's brilliant. I tend to believe she's right.
Poor you. Or her. Or both. I haven't decided.
20 minutes of gross, disgusting burping worth 5 seconds of that laugh!
Hilarious! You have to laugh when she laughs!
It sounds like Cookie Monster barfing.
Me+You+Phantom=awesomeness squared.
she has a great laugh! And I agree with her, that is what death metal sounds like
Oh my god, I can't stop laughing! lol That is HYSTERICAL! Just the laugh I needed to help me surface from the depths of my flooded inbox. :)
