First, let me say that I have settled on a blog name for my eight-year old son. I can't believe it took me this long to realize what it should be. I have been calling him by the nickname "Monk" since he was the tiniest boy. Part of it is simply short for Monkey. But the other part is that he came weekly to spiritual direction with me for the first ten months of his life. And he was the most peaceful, contemplative baby during those hour-long sessions that one could ever hope for. So, Monk it is. :)
So, Monk was in his second day of third grade yesterday. His teacher asked the kids to fill out a survey. One of the questions was focused on music: What songs would you like for the class to learn this year?
Here's Monk's answer, in order:
1. Clocks by Coldplay
2. Stadium Arcadium by Red Hot Chili Peppers
3. Another One Bites the Dust by Queen
4. Lithium by Nirvana
5. Vertigo by U2
6. Rebel Yell by Billy Idol
That's our boy!

Rock on indeed Monk! Great playlist!
(I like monk too, but I thought for a second there that he was going to have his own blog :) Then I realized you meant that is what you would call him on your blog.) I'm also a fan of "dear boy" :)
Excellant playlist!
Dude (ok, I know its not cool to say dude anymore, but) where were you when I was in third grade?! I would have loved third grade if these were the songs we were learning. I bow to you, Monk, the monkiest!
Great taste,,,are they going to learn those????
Rock on, Monk!
