The child is fascinated with Bob (the tomato) and Larry (the cucumber) from Veggie Tales. She wants to hear them sing songs all of the time. I used to find Bob and Larry entertaining. Not so, now that I have to hear them every day. And, someone bestowed some additional Veggie Tales compact disks upon us.
A few days ago, I happened to be flipping through the television channels, unable to concentrate on anything I was trying to read. I came upon Korn "unplugged" on MTV. For one song, they invited The Cure to sing a "combination" of The Cure's "In Between Days" and a Korn song of which I am unfamiliar. It was interesting and resparked interest in The Cure for me.
Yesterday, on a trip to the library, the child and I picked up two albums by The Cure—The Head on the Door and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. When we arrived home, the child informed me that she wanted to listen to Bob and Larry. So I put The Head on the Door into the CD player. "In Between Days" began and the child said, "That's not right. I want Bob and Larry." I informed her that this was indeed Bob and Larry—Bob (Robert Smith on vocals) and Larry (Laurence Tolhurst), along with a few other band members. She seemed satisfied and I think I created a new Cure fan.
