So the youngest boy has a laptop provided by his school that includes monitoring software that gives us insight into the sites he’s visiting and the searches that he’s conducting. The older boy, who has a laptop issued by the public school, has no such software installed; what happens in Public School, stays in Public School, you know.<\/p>\n

But what I found on my youngest son’s search list was SHOCKING and DISTURBING.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He wanted to find the lyrics to the Backstreet Boys’ “I Want It That Way”:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Actually, it wasn’t a surprise since he spent much of the weekend singing the chorus over and over again.<\/p>\n

I guess he’s doing some sort of computer animation to a snippet from the song on one of his “learn to code” Web sites.<\/p>\n

However, the boys have discovered another piece of musical rebellion. In addition to sensitive male folk singers of the 1970s<\/a>, they can listen to fin de si\u00e8cle<\/em> boy bands. Or, honestly, most music that came out of the 1990s. The oldest has already discovered that I cannot stand Green Day and had a phase when he really liked them. <\/p>\n

Of course, when I was their age, I was also into oldies, Old Man (Millennium<\/em> came out in 1999, so it is an oldie, and Justin Timberlake is something your parents listen to). I liked the Beach Boys a bunch and a lot of surf music; I even had a couple of Beach Boys audio cassettes if you can believe it (as you probably can, gentle reader).<\/p>\n

But I will be happy when this phase passes.<\/p>\n

And I am not going to embed the song for you, gentle reader, because I respect you too much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
