Fun Times

We had a fun evening tonight before bed taking photos and making videos. Here are a few.

Another Funny Cyrus Tale

This weekend Cyrus got his first introduction to Michael Jackson. We grew up on Michael and although he has certainly changed over time, he turned it out and his music is amazing.

Anyway, we put some music videos on and up pops MJ. Flashback to the 80's and Papi & I are screaming, moonwalking and looking for jeweled gloves. Cyrus is rocking to the music and imitating us imitating MJ.

He is really getting his groove on, so we continue with the jam fest.

Thriller, BAD, Beat It, videos, music, all MJ all the time. Cyrus was living for the Thriller video, because he loves good music and scary creatures. A few more videos and we got to "Keep it in the Closet" starring MJ & Naomi Campbell. He saw MJ in a letter jacket (Thriller), rockin the red leather studded motorcycle jacket circa Le Chateau/Chess King 1984 (Beat It), making color blocks along the road (Billie Jean), MJ channeling The Warriors (BAD), etc. The many incarnations of MJ. So, I wanted to show him "Keep it in the Closet" because it was so amazing. Anyway, the video starts and there is Naomi and MJ, poppin and groovin and.......... 

Daddy (D): there's Michael Jackson.

Cyrus (C): where?

D: I point to the screen and put my finger on MJ.........

and like clockwork...Cyrus replies......

C: uh huh? That's a lady. A white lady.

I swear to you. I tried to explain to him that it was MJ, which he would have none of. I even thought of showing him MJ's pictures, but in the bottom of my screen, was a photo of MJ at age 14-15 and he didn't even look close to anything that Cyrus had seen before, so I just left it alone and pretended that Naomi was singing & dancing with some "white lady".

He is a funny bird.
