Henry heard the radio turn on upstairs.

"Who can it be-dow?" Shawn sang loudly.

"What are you singing?" Henry asked.

"A song by Men At Work!" the 5-year-old yelled, then began again, "Who can it be-dow?"

"Is that the words to the song?"

"Yep! Well, there's maybe more...but I don't think so. Ooo! 'Jessie is a friend...'"

"What are you singing, Shawn?"

He didn't stop singing.

"...had Jessie-skirl! I wish that I had Jessie-skirl! Where can I fight a woman like that?"

Henry paused for a little to listen to his son completely mess up the song's lyrics.

"Those are the words?" Henry asked.

"Yep! Oh! 'Icy you, and youcy me...'"

Henry thought yet another song he doesn't actually know the words too! He listened a little more.

"You can't escape pi-ies! Pie-ven I's, the watch and you, facing your every move. Pie-vet eyes..."

Henry laughed. Gee, that kid can really mess up a song!

"...the watch and you!"

Henry walked downstairs. He could still hear Shawn repeat the same incorrect words over and over again.

Oh, new song!

"The bake-a-berry morning..." Shawn started a new song.

Great...9-to-5...one of Maddie's favorites.

"..the baby needs a tether..."

Where is he getting this?

"...he works from 9 to 5 to 10..."

Only he sings songs he doesn't know, and probably thinks he has them all correct!

Shawn stopped singing and started in a round of "dun dun dadaddadadadaaa!" to the tune of the Magnum P.I. theme song as he tore down the stairs.

"Magnum P.I. is on!" Shawn yelled as he flew to the TV.

"You can't tell time, yet you can still tell when your favorite show is on. How?"

"I dunno, Dad, that's just the way it is!"

~A few years later~

"Hey, Dad, where's the Thriller cassette and the camcorder?" Shawn yelled.

"The garage. Why?"

"Oh, Gus wore his Micheal Jackson outfit and couldn't Moonwalk, so we're doing Thriller and we want you to tape it. That way we can show it and win the talent show and steal that trophy away from Ronnie Coxwell!"

"How do you know this idea will work, Shawn?"

"'Cause, Dad, that's just the way it is!"

Henry sighed, the kids get old, but the answers get older!
