Trucks, trains, tractors...

Some months ago (probably for a birthday), my mom gave Enoch a book about large motorized vehicles which had a CD in the back of it. I had no desire to listen to the stupid songs on it, so I just let him have it. Now all of a sudden, he knows that they can be played in my computer, so he brought the CD to me and wanted to listen to it. Naturally, after months of being used as a toy, it's in terrible shape. I explained to him how it wouldn't work now, showed him what a functioning CD looked like, and told him while it wouldn't work, I would try so he could learn about treating discs nicely.

...Miracle of miracles, it played. So much for my object lesson. My immediate impression was it was as bad as I expected...but now they just had a song about big rigs. In the song they talk about the code words big rig drivers use to warn each other about cops being around so they don't get caught breaking laws. The hilarity of this just made the CD listenable.

*laughs* That's a kids book, I take it? Nice lesson there, folks! How about singing about the big rig drivers not breaking the law to begin with? *snickers* :D

Yeah, it's a kid's book. Isn't that hilarious? I mean, the way it's said, it'd probably go over a kid's head, but it had me rolling. It was something along the lines of, "Drivers say whatever so they won't break the law," and then there was another line about them calling policemen Smokey Bear so they know they're around.
