Keeping Kids Off the Streets

We had the television on and there's this Kid's Bop commercial.  If you have no idea what that is, it's a CD compilation that comes out every five weeks (give or take) and they're on like volume number 3,298 by now (at least that's my guess).  The CDs feature little kids singing whatever pop songs are "in" at the moment.  Pop music has never sounded so good, particularly the breakup ballads.  I'm not making fun of it, really, because it's better for kids to listen to than what's on most radio stations.

 

So, Bailey mentions quite passionately that "they're not supposed to be in the street."  She then went into further details on how those kids were in the middle of the street (and they were, singing their little hip hop songs) and how they're not supposed to do that "are they?" and that they should be on the sidewalks. She's right.  We should try harder to keep kids off the streets.  Perhaps singing pop songs isn't the way to do it.
