album coverThis past Friday, Thomai and K. had some plans for a special night out, so Baby Z. and I had the evening to ourselves.  As we headed out and about, I fired up the CD changer in my car and I cranked the "Hell Bent for Leather" CD by Judas Priest.  The first track I put on was "Rock Forever" and at one point I was surprised to look in my rear view mirror to see Baby Z. playing a perfect air guitar and nodding her head back and forth like a true rocker.  "Evening Star" was next and she complained that the song was too slow, so I skipped to "Take On The World".  Although that was a slow song as well, she liked the thunderous drums from the track so we rocked out some more.  By the time we got to "The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown)," I had decided that it was time to teach Z. the "Horns Up" salute.  After a few attempts she nailed it perfectly and then I yelled, "Now shake it back and forth and yell, "Woooooo!'"  She's a fast learner!  We were probably quite a sight as we drove down the street yelling and totally rocking out!  When we reached "Running Wild" on the CD, I noticed that things had become very, very quiet in the back seat.  I looked back again and I saw Z. fast asleep while Priest blared all around her.  Headbanging is hard work when you're only three years old!
