…and she’s only just beginning middle school.
It was only a year or so ago that my daughter was singing High School Musical as loud as she can, knowing every word and all of the harmonies. I used to endure it in the car just for her, knowing that I was doing something special for her.
Tonight, I put it on for old time’s sake and she completely wigged out. She cupped her ears and ran screaming. Apparently one week of middle school changes a girl.
It’s pretty scary raising our first 11 year old - going on 19. She is all of a sudden too cool for us parents. The transformation is real and it happens very quickly. Enjoy the time you have with your kids while you have them. They will not always want to hang out with you and may even be completely embarrassed by your mere presence in any public setting.
<Sigh>
Oh well, I still have thee more to try to brainwash before they get too cool for their ol’ Dad.
For the record, I actually think this soundtrack is pretty good. The songwriting is rather appropriate and better than I would have expected for something like this nowadays.
As far as Zac and Vannessa’s behavior off screen…ugh. But really, they have very little to do with the “music” part of this, so I can easily let them fade out of the picture when I enjoy the songs for what they are.
I wonder what next week’s drama will be. :p

hey, this is looking a lot like my blog!
i am not looking forward to those “middle school years”! i remember fondly trying to get away from my pesky parents!!!
Isn’t it funny the things we’re learning about her this new school year? It’s like relearning everything we thought we knew. Like… since when does she not like popcorn? And how is it that telling us the names of the boys she likes harder than farting audibly in public? Well, I have to remind myself that I was overly self-conscious at that age and it’s payback time.
For the record, I love singing HSM songs.
I too have been guilty of singing along to HSM… I might even go see the 3rd at the theater… maybe
