I have discovered an internet radio station that plays nothing but Mozart, and was enjoying it immensely when Didgeridoo Boy came into the room. It's always possible to tell when he's agitated; as much as Didge tries to hide it, the signs start - one foot will begin to jiggle, he'll begin glancing around and grinning a little bit, and then his eyebrows will begin to elevate (usually the right one goes first). If he's walking around, one of his shoulders will go up higher than the other. So, judging from the rate that his right eyebrow was going up in conjunction with the rate of how his left foot was jiggling as he sat on the end of the bed, I could tell something was amiss. I thought he just needed a little caffeine.
No. "TURN THAT SH_T OFF!" Out of nowhere, Didge began to throw a hissy fit. "SERIOUSLY!" I didn't. I simply said I'd been listening to such music my whole life, and that I was so delighted to have found this particular station. He bounced a little. "TURN IT OFF! GAAAH! I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A SNOOTY CLOTHING STORE!" I let it play for a few more seconds before turning it off, even though I pretended I was getting to it immediately. Didgerihissies (Ding! New word of the day!) can prove entertaining if not allowed to go on for too long.
He began to walk out of the room. As he was closing the door, he said, "Alright. NOW you can turn it back on. I HATE that sh_t."
And why is this an example of one of my life's little ironies? I have three words for you:
1. FLY
2. DOODY
3. ANGELS
That's right - fly, doody, and angels. It's what I came up with after I was (ahem - big hint next) SLAUGHTERED by repetitious plays of a particular song. The trauma is still with me, therefore I will not write it out plainly. Just know that I've since told everyone I was (ahem) slaughtered by a flock of flying doody angels.
Please tell me you see the irony as well. If not, just humor me and say you do.
And have a little Mozart while you're enjoying your weekend. (Yes, there are supposed to be four links - I couldn't find all four movements of this piece in one go on YouTube. But I rather like this "Mozart bomb" effect. I feel avenged.)
