(ADAM has just helped me buy something at Best Buy.)

ME: Thanks for your help. You’re a good little friend.
ADAM: Don’t call me that.
ME: Well, you are. You’re my best little boy.
ADAM: You can call me the best big little boy.
ME: Okay.

So they’ve been playing the Disco Star Wars Theme on XM Kids lately. I’ve caught it maybe three times in the car this week, which is a lot, because I haven’t been listening a ton. (On the other hand, it could be part of a pre-programmed block we keep tuning into the right part of.)

Adam saw the display and said “this song is by Meh-co”.

I said “it might be May-co, or it might be Mee-co, but whoever it is, that’s who did this song”.

Becky said “who is singing this song?”

I said “this is an instrumental. There are just instruments.”

Right around the Cantina theme part, Adam helped out. “Ya wanna know who’s singing on this song?”

Becky said “Who?”

Adam said “Jackie Robinson!”

So there you go. According to Adam, the man who broke the color barrier in baseball also has the distinction of having sung on the highest-selling instrumental single in the history of recorded music.

Becky: “Mom, can you help me with my socks?”

Christie: “No, I really can’t right now.  One minute.”

Becky: “But!  I need help! with my [incoherent babbling]…”

Me: “Becky, here, I’ll help you out.”

Adam [in the distance]: “Daddy!  Daddy!  DADDY!”

Becky: “Adam’s saying ‘Daddy’.  He needs your help.”

Me [to Adam]: “In a minute, Adam!” [to Becky:] “What kind of help does he need, do you know?”

Becky: “Pants-putting-on help.”

Me: “I’ll be there in a second, Adam.”

Adam: “No, OK, I got it.  I got it.  I GOT IT!”
