Listening to Alanis Morisette on the radio.
Christian: "Momma, that song is mean. Why are we even listening to it. It's so mean. Can I change the station?"
Me: "How is it mean? I haven't heard anything mean in it."

Christian: "It's calling people nerds. Listen...you see right there...
you live, you nerd
you love, you nerd
you cry, you nerd
you lose, you nerd
I mean, people can't help if they lose and then cry about it and it's mean to call them nerds."
Me: "Son, she's not calling them nerds. She is saying 'you learn'
you live, you learn
you love, you learn
you cry, you learn
you lose, you learn."
Christian: "What's the name of this song, anyway?"
Me: "Jagged Little Pill."
Christian: "What? What does that mean?"
Me: "fine, just change the station."
