I recently taught the girls the lyrics to Big Poppa (“Love it when you call me Big Poppa,” they now run around the house and sing), and I played Temptations and another favorite 2Pac song of mine (the clean versions, of course) on our way to school the other morning. As we drove along, Avery threw her hands up in the air and wiggled in her carseat, and Zoe seemed interested as I started to explain about the late artist and his influence on the hip-hop world. And just I was feeling so happy and proud to be raising two budding hip-hop fans, Avery piped up. “Itsy Bitsy Spider now, Mommy,” she said, bringing me down to earth (and prompting me to turn on her beloved Baby Mozart CD).

Okay, so I guess we’ve got a ways to go before they can be considered rap devotees!
