Steal-ers like music more than kids

Mckenna and I were on our way to Sunshine, her before school daycare, this morning after dropping Devyn off at school and I hear her rustling through her backpack in the back seat.

"Daddy, I found my iPod," she tells me as she is pulling it from the bowels of her backpack. If Mckenna's room was a creature her backpack would be it's stomach. You can't even begin to imagine the things that end up in her backpack for digestion. She doesn't have an iPod but here is proof positive that marketing and advertising works- every music player to a 6 year old is an iPod.

"Good Honey, I'm glad you found it," I reply unaware that she had lost it in the first place but curious none the less.

"I left it at Sunshine," she says. "I better leave it in your car so I don't lose it again," she adds.

"That's fine Honey, you can leave it in here," I tell her.

She quickly changes her mind and says, "No I better not leave it in the car it might get stealed. Stealers broke into Mommy's car and took her briefcase," Her Mother's car was broken into earlier this week and apparently left quite an impression on Mckenna.

Mckenna continues... "They would steal it if I left it in the car because stealers like music. At this point I'm thinking... Cool, I just learned something new. "Stealers like music more than kids because they like to listen to music while they are stealing," she informs me.

"OK Sweetheart," I tell her, "You tuck it into your backpack when you are done. OK?"

"OK Daddy, I'm going to listen to my music now."
