Life with Owen...and Michael Jackson
Life with Owen has led me to do so many things I never imagined.....like searching for an mp3 of Say, Say, Say. Sigh. First Adam Schmitt, then the Beatles and the Ramones and now Michael Jackson. I'm not sure what this progression means.
We even have to have lots of discussions about Michael Jackson. "Mom, do you think he made his skin whiter on purpose?" Uhhhh. I told him I thought it was a combination of a skin disorder called vitiligo and that Aunt Judi had that too. I told him that then he probably wanted to make his skin color more even so it wasn't blotchy. He nodded seriously and said he thought he looked better when he was darker. It was 7:10 in the morning so I didn't feel like discussing plastic surgery, etc. so I just agreed.
Then he wanted to know if I thought the Beatles had helped write Say, Say, Say. "Uh, no."
Here is his Lego Michael Jackson in Thriller (although as he pointed, he took creative license and added the white glove) as well as the Lego Michael Jackson from Billie Jean.
