Headphones

3 months after my birthday, I got new headphones from my mom. The sound quality is off the charts. Nate listened to Pink Floyd's Final Cut -- a melodic and soaring Roger Waters classic -- this morning while strolling to school with his pirate umbrella protecting him from a steady rain. I couldn't see him while he listened but he was quiet for a while as the tune progressed. Then I began to hear Nate singing these short bursts of drum hits (DUH DUH DUM PSHHHH) or guitar licks (ME-WRRR) and even little vocal snatches (SKYYY). I LOVE THIS SONG DADDY, he said as we got close to school.

On the flip side, I'm now one of those guys who walks around with headphones.
