This is a story about not doing your research.

The girls have developed an obsession with Michael Jackson and I started it. One day, we were talking about dancing and I said “You know who could REALLY dance?” And then out came the iPad, then the YouTube videos, then the iTunes downloads.

I worked late tonight, and when I got home, Diggs was giving the girls a bath. They were fighting back tears, he was fighting back laughter.

Upon further investigation:

After an extra-elaborate bedtime ritual tonight—Mom, will you go with me to brush my teeth? Mom, will you pat me on the back so I don’t think about it?—I was half throwing Diggs the REALLY?! look and half trying to contain my own giggles.

When we finally had a minute alone he said, “I forgot about the eye part.”

  3. Hahahahahaha. My kids LOVE Thriller but insist I fast forward through the scary parts. My son was begging to watch an MJ video before bed tonight… “Just let me stay up long enough to watch Billie Jean!” So funny.
