Sing-A-Longs

- Post by Foster Mom

M, our 4 year old foster kid, is a pop culture diva. She can sing along to the majority of the songs on the radio. When we had guests over, if she was up for it she would sing some Taylor Swift or Bieber. It quickly became our "party trick"...
Until today, when it got extremely disturbing.

M and I were riding in the car to meet up with our case manager. My CD player is pretty finicky and decided not to work so I was flipping through stations when M yelled, "That's my favorite song!"

Do you like it boy
I wa-wa-want
What you wa-wa-want
Give it to me baby
Like boom, boom, boom
What I wa-wa-want
Is what you wa-wa-want
Na, na-aaaah

Her sweet little voice sang EVERY word, not missing a beat. I changed the station extremely quickly but wanted to show you more lyrics for shock value.

Come here rude boy, boy
Can you get it up
Come here rude boy, boy
Is you big enough
Take it, take it
Baby, baby
Take it, take it
Love me, love me

I like the way you touch me there
I like the way you pull my hair...

I was shocked. I tried to explain that the song is a "gross" song and not appropriate for kids, or anyone for that matter...

It just hurts my heart how her innocence has been taken away. I'm past the point of thinking "it's cute" in regards to how many hit songs she knows. She wasn't sheltered at all, and it's sad to think about how else her innocence may have been lost.

I thought I would never be saying this but I would love some quality Barney sing-a-longs right about now.
