I was playing The Cure’s latest album again yesterday. Ms. Beatrix asked, “Who’s this?”

I answered, “The Cure. A band that was very popular when Mom and I were your age. This is their latest album that they just put out a few months ago.”

“Oh”, she said, “They sound like that other band, The Smiths?”

She then sings a few lines from, “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out”.

“Yep”, I said, “Same era”

“Same energy”, she said.

We’ve raised her well.
