History lesson from my son
 

I asked my 10 year old son if he knew who the Beatles were..

He said, "Yeah, weren't they just a cheap knockoff of the Monkees?"

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

LOL! I love it. The Monkees were a cool show, remember.

I am beliver.

you tell him they are the innovators of hair of the era.

Haha... that's great.

I have to admit, that, at his age, I dug the Monkees more than the Beatles - but that's because the Beatles didn't have a corney T.V. show to appeal to my sophomoric sense of humor. :)

Sounds like he's old enough to learn the truth - the Beatles and the Monkees were both knockoffs of Los Shakers...

ADG

I have not seen the monkeys in years.. That was a great show

Well, at least he knows the monkees. :)

I'm impressed that at his age he even knows the Monkees and maybe more surprised they still have re-runs on TV

LMAO! :1orglaugh

I still remember my 16-yr-old daughter saying, "You mean Paul McCartney had a band before Wings?!"

haha... i used to love the monkees show... ... people say we monkee around... lol

haha... good one!

Amazing answer from the kid

just asked my 11 year old .. he said he knew who they were .. but couldn't name any songs ..but mumbled something about an "octopus under the sea song" ..lol
But at 11 his absolute favorite band is .. "Sean Paul" and the bad new to me is .. I have no idea who that is .. LOL..serves me right for asking ...

Loved the monkees!!!

I was watching the new Planet Earth documentary (highly recommended) last night with my son when we got into an argument over whether an insect in an animal. I should have known the answer but I was wrong - an insect *is* an animal - and the little conceited 7 year pompous son of a gun proceeded to rub it in all night. Little turd.

hahah, your son is so damn smart man!!!

Damn... I feel stupid now. :(

That's too funny! I will have to check and see if my sons know either of the bands ;)

thats too funny

...for a 10 year old today that is crazy lol:)
