"some of my best friends are..."

Conversation this morning:

Me, holding Noah on my legs and making the appropriate gestures and rocking him merrily, to the CD: It's fun to stay at the YMCA /They have everything for young men to enjoy / You can hang out with all the boys
Carl: something I don't remember verbatim about dance clubs
Me: I'm just getting him ready for Pride!
Carl: What if he's not gay?
Me, ignoring that Pride is not just about that: I've done my best! When I ran out of onesies in the middle of the night a few weeks ago I put him in a flowered onesie and watched three episodes of The L-Word!
Carl: ... the L-word is not going to turn* any boys gay
Me: ....

(I keep forgetting that. Cough.)

Noah's favourite dance hits thus far - you be the judge:
Willaby wallaby woo - Raffi
Like a Prayer - Madonna
Cecilia - Simon and Garfunkle
Dancing Queen - Abba
I'm too sexy - Right Said Fred
YMCA - Village People
The grand old Duke of York - us (You know, The grand old Duke of York, he had ten thousand men, he marched them up to the top of the hill...)

*No, of course you can't "turn" someone gay and of course we aren't trying to turn anyone gay, or straight, or anything. No worries. :-)
