My oldest daughter, who now lives with Husband and me in a symbiotic situation, watches what I want to watch. I have forced her to watch such films as "Witness for the Prosecution," "Twelve Angry Men," and "Born Yesterday." She agrees that I know something about good films. Sometimes it just takes longer.

It's something I've thought about before - how, as a society, we have less "shared culture" than in the past - but, not being a parent, I never gave much thought to the things that aren' t being "passed down".

As you know, grrrrl often accompanies us on our musical sojourns, and she seems to like it. Boy actually has a lovely singing voice and can occasionally be cajoled or enticed into singing along...especially if we're listening to something like "Foo Fighters" I love trying to remember all the things they have that we didn't have. It's freakish and amazing. Calculators, computers, DVDs, digital anything. I love Elvis Presley movies. I doubt that's a love that I can ever pass on ;-D We actually listen to some music together.
