Kids and I are going through videos on YouTube and we stumbled on The Tea Party (Canadian rock band from the 90s and 00s)
Is it appropriate to tell my kids that I've hung out with the band at a bar and the recording studio.
And yes...many, many lines of Columbiab marching powder are featured in the stories.
Tell me dude, Tea Party was huge here late 90s. They played a bunch of uni's instead of concert halls when they toured. I saw them at Monash Clayton and Monash Caulfield for about $20 a ticket.
See my other reply 😁
Omitting stuff and white lies are ok to protect young ears. They don't need to know all the details. 😉
That's what I'm thinking...at the same time my son asked me the other day how do I get my rice paper rolls , rolled so tightly.
I told him it was luck and about 20 years of unrelated practice
I don't remember not knowing that my parents smoked weed.
Depends on how old your kids are IMO.
If they're infant, set them up for success and omit the details, but if they're teenagers then you could form a better bond and let them know they can talk to you openly when they experiment with making rice paper rolls.
Colombian marching powder :) I don't want to hijack your story, but let's just say that a long time ago, back in the UK, someone said that exact phrase to me and it started a chain of events that ultimately lead to me sitting here now, in Melbourne, typing this reply.
Hahaha love that!
Coincidentally I love the devil's dandruff too.
So many great tracks…
