A few weeks ago I played the song Island in the Sun by Weezer in the car and Wyatt fell in love. 
(hip hip) We've now completed listening to each of the six albums we own plus a few of the songs from the new album we found online--with a few edits from Mom. Hash Pipe is not one I want to explain at this point. Thanks to search engines and websites we know more than we ever wanted to know about Weezer, or as Wyatt calls them, The Weezers. I tried to explain the band name concept but he will not accept the singular if there are 4 band members. "Mom, the Beatles...get it?" I've let it go...

I've let it go...Now my days are full of all sorts of interesting Weezer questions.
"Mom, how old are the Weezers? Do they live together in the same house? Are the Weezers cousins, friends, or brothers? Do they have kids?"
If I say I don't know, he makes up the answers: "I think some of them are cousins and some are friends and they all live in their house together so they can all play whenever they want. They are probably 25 and don't have any kids 'cause their too busy playing music."
He's taken to calling himself Brian Bell and playing the air guitar. In the car he wears sunglasses and combs his hair into his eyes in a certain way before playing said air guitar. We've created a monster...
How young is too young for guitar lessons?

What a kick! I always want to have these things engraved in my memory. Good for you for writing it down.
Is he big enough to hold the guitar??
Maybe a ukulele?
That's hilarious! I love the questions and the making up the answers.
That's so fun! Awsumb really loves music and is already starting to get to know bands, etc. I should introduce him to Weezer!
If you don't, Wyatt will. He got the latest album for his birthday and has air guitared his way through it. Pretty funny.
I love this story. I loved how Wyatt asked my boys if they liked Weezer the other day and they had no idea what he was talking about. I'll have to give them a little culture so they can be cooler.
