Jasmine and Pop Culture

At ten o'clock a few nights ago we heard Jasmine singing in her room. We put Jasmine to bed around eight o'clock every night. However, many nights she lies awake and talks and sings. Ten o'clock was extremely late so we listened in on her. She was singing a song that sounded like "perferator" or "operator," it wasn't clear. The next day as we set out in the car Jasmine asked for music (the radio) as she always does. This time she was more specific saying she wanted "perferator." We couldn't figure out exactly what she wanted, we figured it was probably a song she heard at church and probably was in Spanish. You can imagine our surprise when Britney Spears' new song "Radar" was played on the radio and Jasmine exclaimed joyfully, "PERFORATOR!" She could have only heard this song one time before on the radio as we don't listen to Britney Spears. Aye, yie, yie! She's only two and a half years old and we already have to be careful as to what she is listening.

I downloaded "Radar" for Jasmine and play it for her once or twice a day. No matter where she is in the house or what she is doing, she comes running and begins danicing (twirling in place) as she sings "perforator."
