i didn't know teenage fanclub could scare a toddler.

so i am using Near You as my current ring tone just because.
then one night, while his dad and I watched Wild Bill and Le Toddler worked on some writing exercises by the dining table, something happened.
(it is good to note that Le Toddler was, or we were, within arm's reach.)
our house was quiet except for the british accented conversations from the movie we were watching. then suddenly my phone rings. i didn't actually hear it. i didn't know it was ringing.
Le Toddler stopped dead in the middle of his the quick brownfoxjumps over the laz dog, frozen. He frantically searched for the source of the weird sound.
then 10 seconds into the intro he jumped out of his chair and ran to where i was splayed, on the mattress on the floor, scratching my belly. Le Toddler's eyes bulged with fear, they nearly jumped out of their sockets. it was clearly a face of an very very horrified child awaiting for an impending boogeyman attack.

then 12 seconds into the song, the banging of the drums became much clearer, that's when i knew.

Near You just scared the shit out of our toddler. (it's actually a lovely, very positive song.)

best comedy night of my life.
