This morning my daughter, age 5, was walking around the house singing "Clementine." You know the song, "Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling Clemetine...."
I was a bit surprised to hear this. I have been known to sing this song, but I usually do not get very far before the natives get restless and I have to stop.
So I asked her where she learned this.
"Oh, Cartoon Network," she answered.
"Quickdraw McGraw?" I asked.
She gave me a look then wanted to know how I knew this.
I explained that Quickdraw McGraw was a cartoon from when I was growing up.
She thought about this for a moment and then replied, "Oh, no, this was in color."
The generation gap widens just a little more. I am going to keep playing Spike Jones for in the car until she thinks I pre-date that.
