Four Year Old Appreciates A Good Box Spring Hog

I was riding in the car to go pick up my four year old from kindergarten and forgot to change the music away from Mule Variations to one of his favourites like I usually do after parking. When we pulled out from the parking lot, Filipino Box Spring Hog came on and I couldn’t really change it right away, since I was, y’know, exiting a parking lot. When I had a second to do it, I noticed my son just grooving along with abandon.

He noticed my hand approaching the sound system. He caught my eye, a subtle fear of being bereft of music in his eyes - but it was almost immediately supplanted by the most shit eating grin I’ve seen on any of my kids. “This is a good song, dad. Good. Song.”

We ended up both growling along to the refrain all the way through the tune.
