Million Dollar Listing

Dear Mackenzie,

I constantly have music playing in our house. Whether I am listening to BTS on my iPad as I'm cooking dinner or dancing to a Dua Lipa playlist on YouTube while I'm folding laundry, the sounds of one song or another are almost always traveling through our hallways. You are so used to this constant music that when there isn't any, you immediately ask me, "Can I put on a song?" I usually say yes and you run to get my iPad, which you know how to navigate in order to get to your favorite songs (which are currently "You Need To Stay Calm" by Taylor Swift and "I'm A Mess" by AJR--you call the latter "The Elmo Song" because the singer dresses up like Elmo in the music video; I don't think you even know the actual "Elmo Song," even though your siblings were all obsessed with it at your age). 

Tonight, you had to use the bathroom and it was a #2, so I said I was going to clean up the kitchen while I waited for you to finish. I said I'd put on some music for you before I went downstairs and you were so grateful, you shouted from the bathroom, "Thank you, Mama! I love you one million dollars around the whole world!" Whoa, that's a lot!

Love,
Mom
