Yesterday in the car, "Kiss" by Prince came on the radio.

First my oldest daughter spurts out "What the hell is this crap?"

Then my middle daughter says "Now I've got a headache!"

And without missing a beat my youngest shoves the knife all the way into my heart by saying "Is this Michael Jackson?"

My oldest likes to listen to Reggaeton and some hip hop so I am always teasing her "What the hell is this crap....this music is giving me a headache....etc." Then I find out she has some Michael Jackson songs on her Ipod and I asked her how many Prince songs she has.....zero .

So for some reason they all just turned on me yesterday and let me have it....ungrateful little.....

My kids don't like Prince music either.

Even if they did like Prince, they wouldn't let you know that

My daughter was 21 before she'd admit it to me...now when she comes
home to visit, she wants to "copy" my CDs....and not only Prince

Don't worry, I have a feeling we have all been betrayed by most of our family and friends when it comes to the purple butt muncher

And to think I took my oldest to two Musicology shows...row 8 for the first show and row 3 for the second. It took me 24 damn years to get seats that close at a Prince concert and she gets them the first two shows she goes to....and then this.

Where did I go wrong





Actually they do like Prince music, they just saw I had a busy day, they sensed I was vulnerable and attacked like a pack of wolves

You're probably right

I am pretty lucky..both my girls love Prince..probably because it was pounded into their heads as babies.

But....my son can't stand him! Oh well...2 out of 3 is not to bad.

I did the same thing...I guess it had the opposite effect on them

My daughter dont liek Prince either she just give me a weird look and put on her Mp3 player

My 17yr old son likes Prince music... when I buy a new CD he always wants to download it on his Ipod.... not all the songs, just the ones he likes.

your girls are funny!

"Kiss" is the only Prince song my daughter will listen to

I feel ya. My daughter takes pleasure in blasting Lil Wayne anytime she wants to irritate me. For those who remember what Lil Wayne said about Prince, I told her she laughed. Of course when I'm looking for a particular Prince CD 50% of the time it's amoung her things.

That's cool...I wish my daughter was like that

veronikka said:

My daughters will listen to Prince if I'm listening to him. They just won't listen to him on their own, not even "Kiss"

What kind of music does your daughter listen to?

just jokes...

Sowhat said:

No see my 5yr old daughter is a EWF fiend.... her favorite song, Fantasy, and she sings and dances to it ALL the time... for like three years now.

paintedlady said:

At least it is EWF and not something like a 50 cent song or something.


Any my daughters like "September" by EWF a lot. I think it is in some kids movie they saw.

well, kiss wasn't the best song to play them.

Sowhat said:

Happy Feet? Or was that Boogie Wonderland? Anyways... yeah if they turn on 50 cent... I turn on Willie Colon so... I always win. For now If I got my son hooked on Enya then anythings possible.

The Ultimate Cd... Erotic City will get then hooked... or Head. Those are perfect songs for getting your girls to like Prince music, and no I am not joking.

paintedlady said:

Yeah, my dad used to that to me. I would always wanna listen to Hot 97 and he'd pop in a cassette of some 70s salsas or merengues or bachatas. I would be all "Turn it off, PAAAAA ", but now that I'm an adult, it's just about all I listen to I think that kids just like to give their parents a hard time



Yes, this had nothing to do with Prince I discovered him on my own. My parents didn't even know who he was until I started listening to him. They don't like Prince, btw
