The Ultimate Guilt Trip

You know as a kid, sometimes it seemed a little pointed when your parents offered an especially specific prayer, or the songs they put on seemed like they were chosen just for whatever you were doing wrong at the moment?  It bugged me like crazy, but most likely, I was just already feeling guilty, and so super-sensitive.  This is a hilarious example of coincidence, and I'd honestly have to admit, way too pointed to not share.

At 6:30 this morning, before I jumped in the shower, I heard the kids' alarm going off in my room.  Apparently the iPad mini was still charging, so it did a wonderful job of waking up the dog, instead of the kids.  Well, as much as I like Phineas and Ferb, when I brought it in to their room, they didn't emerge, so I thought: it's still early, I'll put on some peaceful soul-lifting religious songs to give them a good first-of-the-day boost.

After skipping past the first song that came up on my shuffle, I heard the familiar sounds from "My Turn On Earth," and figured that'd be something they know and appreciate.  As I stepped into the bathroom, however, I paid a little more attention to the lyrics of this supposedly peaceful wake-up song:

...
I don’t like to get up and I love sleeping in. All I want is to do is to play. 
I’ll lie around the house till noon, and wear my pajamas all day. 

Chorus: 
When you choose the very first step on the road, you also choose the last. 
So if you don’t like the end of the road, you better back up,
you know you better back up fast!

 Totally made my morning; love how these things work themselves out!
