Andie Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 *groan* He won't ("CAN'T!") stop humming Tom Petty. And he doesn't even know the whole soooong. *whine, whine* It's making me nuts. Ever heard a continuous loop of Free Fallin' hummed for four hours?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I've been known to make swishing motions over my dc's heads, while saying "Whack! whack! whack! whack!" They get the point - "cease and desist!" But since I'm being silly about it no one gets bent out of shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrianne Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 My kids are still little so we usually do not sing much Tom Petty but Veggie Tales and kids bible songs are big around here. Once one of the kids starts singing the song, (usually only about one line) the rest of us are stuck singing it for the day. By the end of the day, we are ready to whack each other! Find a copy and play the song, this might help him get rid of it. Adrianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCoppock Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 My 8yo DS sings songs over and over with the WRONG WORDS! I admit it drives me nuts and after asking kindly multiple times to stop the constant noise have sent him to his room. I feel your pain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 No it is not wrong. It is completely justified! I used to like Garth Brooks, ds got no less than 6 new cd's for Christmas.

Remudamom Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I'd rather listen to your little one singing it than Tom Cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 A quick splash of water seemed enough to restart his brain in non-Petty mode. I'm pretty sure it was the splash and not the threat of a dunk into the creek beyond the cliff across the street... Either way, whew!

Laura Corin Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Someone once said to me that seven-year-old boys come with a sound track. So far, the tape hasn't run out and Calvin is 11. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamagistra Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 He won't ("CAN'T!") stop humming Tom Petty. Seriously...you would hit somethin' if you heard my child go for the soprano/dog-pitch notes in Avalon. Why my favorite Roxy Music song? Why with such volume?! It makes her glass-breaking hawk call seem downright soothing and Calgonic. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in NC Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 You are permitted to bop them repeatedly on the head with an empty paper towel holder. The noise is very carthartic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
