That reminds me of myself at the Warped Tour watching an unknown band on the small stages. I’ll make up the band name, let’s say they’re Shining Cupcake:

Me: [cheers after a song]  
Shining Cupcake, to the 20 or so watchers: Thank you, we’re Shining Cupcake  
Me: [cheers after a song]  
SC: Thank you. Remember our name, we’re Shining Cupcake.  
SC:[after another song]: We’re Shin…  
Me: SHINING CUPCAKE! THANKS!  
Me, after the concert: So, what was that awesome band’s name again? :smack:

Ha HA! And you apparently don’t know the band’s name to this day. (“Shining Cupcake” _is_ a really good band name, though.)

There’s almost nothing Asa doesn’t know about football and passionately wishes to share. (He knows what pets players have. And, so do I.)

Sometimes I say, “Honey, let’s just think our own thoughts for a while.”

It works with him, briefly. It never worked with his foster sister.
