A Day in the Life...
Ellen, sitting on the floor this morning while I went over the alphabet with Olivia on the couch: "Oh wow! Dokken!"
Olivia: "Ayyy! Theyah it is daddy!"
Me: "What?"
Ellen: "It's the top ten videos of [UNDER CONTENTION]!"
Olivia: "Ayy daddy, ayy ritethere!"
Me: "Yes Olivia, that's an 'A'. Good job! 1980? Dokken wasn't 1980... 1980 was more like disco."
Ellen: "Ooh! Goonies! I had this on 45!"
Olivia: "Oooh! Horsie!" *sigh* "It'sSoCute!"
Me: "The Goonies were, like, 1985 or something."
Ellen: "Oh here's one for you, Kenny Loggins Highway to the Danger Zone"
Me: "Ok, your list is all wrong. I know that was 1986. Who are these guys?"
Ellen: "What?"
Me: "These guys claiming this was all in 1980."
Ellen: "No you moron, it's the top ten videos of the nineteen-eighties, not 1980. Gah! What, do you think I'm stupid?!? Of course this isn't just 1980!"
Olivia: "Yeah daddy!"
It's enought to make me almost want another kid, a boy, just to even the odds. Maybe I can adopt Nina's boyfriend or something. He even has his own bike!
Thanks for the smile to go with my morning coffee. It's been too long since Bigwig posted stories like this over at Silflay. Having no kids of my own, I have to live vicariously through others!

Criteria to be a great video included cameos by the stars of the movie the video represented, which kicked out a bunch of videos from contention, which killed the list for me.
I thought it would be that one
