David is turning into ...

"So David," I asked, "What is happening on July 30 this year?"
"My birthday!"
"What else?"
"I don't know - what?"
"What does it mean?"
"I'll be an eighth grader."
"What else? What will you turn into?"
"WHAT?"
"An icky, terrible, stinky teenager!"

Yup, the boys are going to be 13. And David has turned into a Weird Al fan. He has an inexpensive MP3 player and 5 albums loaded. He now sings/recites the words to dozens of Weird Al parodies. And yes, David knows what a parody is - he has even told us in detail about "Bob" - the song comprised of all palindromes. And yes, he knows what that is too.
