On the way to Madison, we were playing some classic 80s hits–from a “Best of the 80s British Gold” album that Mark has on his iPod. When Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like the Wolf” came on, Ava sat very still, listening–eyes wide, mouth parted. It was as though she’d had a revelation. And after that, the kid was hooked.

The only part I don’t like her to sing is, “Mouth is alive, juices like wine, and I’m hungry like the wolf.” Then, I feel like a bad parent who is letting her child listen to inappropriate music.
