Who is that? Parenting woes

So last night we ate dinner at Grimaldi’s in San Antonio.  You know, the famous Brooklyn Bridge pizza place (it’s on the Brooklyn side of the bridge).

There are many photos of the NY city skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge, and a whole bunch of “famous” people.  I used quotation marks because during the course of the meal, I discovered that my almost 12 year old didn’t know who any of the people were.

After being a bit horrified at her not knowing, it quickly turned into shame – my own shame.  For who should have educated her about these icons of the 50s and 60s.

Ok, well maybe I’m feeling a bit more shame because the “famous” people weren’t any great historians, presidents, or movement leaders – no, they were…entertainers.

Yes, there were the pictures of the famous “Rat Pack”, plus Marilyn Monroe and Debbie Reynolds.  As a musician, I couldn’t believe that she didn’t know Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin or Sammy Davis, Jr.

So guess what we’re going to do?
Listen to “Sway” (she actually knows this song from a Michael Buble album) and “I’ve Got You Under My Skin”….

I have a feeling there might be other movies and songs I need to share!
