The song about the man who fixed the computers

I finally got around to downloading a copy of Ode to Satoshi. Okay, okay, so I did it through iTunes, when really I should have done it through BitTunes. I may yet.

Anyway, that's me getting off topic on an off topic topic.

I downloaded Ode and found myself singing along to it a couple of times going to and from work. Then, a few days later I was driving my three year old son around and he said, "Sing me a song." Needless to say I sparked up Ode. He stopped me after the third line. "Wait, wait, wait. Daddy?"

"Yes?"

"Does the man wear a cape?"

"What do you mean?"

"He's a hero. Does he wear a cape?"

"I don't think so. He isn't a story."

"What does he look like?"

"Nobody knows. We don't know what he looks like, or where he lives."

"I think he lives underground."

Which I guess is kinda true.

Over the past few days he asked me to sing it several more times. Following the questions and discussions this has generated my son now refers to Ode as, "The song about the man who fixed the computers."

Works for me :)

    Kids are funny and see the hidden truth inside of things like that. A guy I worked with was telling me a story about his daughter. At dinner one night, his daughter didn't finish her food, and my friend said:

    Friend: "Me and your mom work very hard to put food on your plate, you need to finish"

    Kid: "But I dont like the taste of it"

    Friend: "That doesnt matter, we work hard so you can eat. Many people less fortunate then us have to dig through the garbage to eat"

    Kid: "Ok"

    Days later, my friends daughter told him that she threw away her lunch and just ate the cookie at school:

    Friend: "Why did you throw your food away? You cannot just eat a cookie, its not enough for you, you need good food as well."

    Kid: "But dad, I just wanted to give food to the people who are more poor then us. Now when they dig through the garbage they will find a good sandwich to eat"
