"Song for Red," March 17, 2007

Posted at 7:56 PM on March 17, 2007 by Tony Lopez

Tonight's SFR is "2 Much Time On My Hands." No, not them! Local rockers Vicious Vicious are the inspiration for this week's song.

Red's in the first grade and learning how to tell time so we decided to get a clock for her room. I'm beginning to think that was a big mistake. While I'm thrilled that's she's learning about the concept of time, I'm less than enthusiastic about it when she comes into our room at 6:45 in the morning to tell me what time it is.

She crawls into bed with us and I've instructed her not to turn the television on until at least 7:30. She's got too much time on her hands. For the next half hour she dutifully and sweetly whispers in my ear every two minutes, "Daddy, it's 7:11." "Dad, it's 7:13." Daaaaaaadeeeeeeee, it's 7:15." You get the picture.

I propose, from now on, that children must learn how to tell time the old-fashioned way. That'll teach'em.
