So YouTube is busy celebrating April 1st by Rickrolling all the Featured Videos on their front page. How fun, I thought, I haven’t seen Rick Astley since, well, the Eighties. So, at breakfast, I visited YouTube and clicked on a video about a monkey. Sure enough, there was Rick, singing in his too-deep tones with random dancers doing random Eighties moves. I shut the window and started surfing another site when I heard the dulcet tones of my own little songbird. He (the two-year-old) pointed at the laptop and said, “Again!” And then, when it was done, “Again!” And, “Again!” We watched the video a total of five times this morning, and now I can’t get the song out of my head. I do believe I have been Rickrolled, by my baby.
