This meme looks like too much fun; but it also looks hazardous because it is likely to out some of the biggest guilty pleasures sitting on my iPod right now. This particular meme originated over at A Complete Thought and I read a modified version of it over at Fiddledeedee. DeeDee altered hers, but I'm not nearly as clever as she is so I'm sticking with the original.
1. Put your iPod (or MP3 player) on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button for your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS.
4. Tag some Moms you admire who could use a laugh and a song.
HOW DID YOU BECOME A MOM?
Child of God (from the Hungy Live CD).... I promise this is what came up. Just obeying the rules. I promise. I'm not a heretic. I promise.
WHAT DID YOU THINK THE FIRST TIME YOU SAW YOUR BABY?
I Want to Know You (Sonicflood)... I shuffled it, I promise.
WHAT DID YOU DO THE FIRST MORNING AFTER A SLEEPLESS NIGHT?
Escape from Venice (John Williams - The Indiana Jones CD)... because we all need to listen to a hero anthem now and then
WHAT DO YOU SAY WHEN SOMEONE COLORS ON THE WALL?
How Do You Like Me Now? (Toby Keith)
HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH A TODDLER'S BODILY FLUID ISSUES?
How Wonderful (Leeland)
IF SOMEONE SAYS "Can I have a snack" YOU SAY:
Ready for Anything (The Backyardigans)... In my defense, the kids have their own play list.
IF SOMEONE LEAVES THEIR STUFF ON THE FLOOR YOU SAY:
Dry Your Tears, Afrika (Amistad Soundtrack - John Williams) Okay 1) that's how it's spelled on the CD and 2) the Star Wars soundtrack has gotten my kids digging orchestra music
IF SOMEONE ISN'T SICK TODAY YOU SAY:
Streetcorner Symphony (Rob Thomas)
HOW DO YOUR KIDS ENJOY YOUR COOKING?
Grace (Phil Wickham)... I wish
HOW DID YOUR KIDS DO IN SCHOOL TODAY?
The 3 R's (Jack Johnson)... REALLY, I'm shuffling. This is getting weird - do iPods think??
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHILE YOU SIT IN THE CARPOOL LINE? (or drive thru?)
Imperial Attack (London Symphony Orchestra - Star Wars soundtrack) 1) eerily accurate response and 2) of course Star Wars was going to pop up
HOMESCHOOLERS, WHAT IS THE FIRST SUBJECT TAUGHT OF THE DAY?
I Could Sing of Your Love Forever (Delirious)
WHAT DO YOUR KIDS WANT TO BE WHEN THEY GROW UP?
Ladies' Choice (Hairspray Soundtrack)... oh my
WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY AS A MOM?
I'm Not That Girl (Wicked Soundtrack)
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE AS A MOM?
Oh Love (Brad Paisley)... awwww
HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU WERE REALLY A MOM?
Standin' in the Need of Prayer (Veggie Tales)... from the mouth of Junior Asparagus
WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO AS A MOM?
Tim McGraw (Taylor Swift)... I just don't know what to do with that
HOW DID YOU KNOW YOU WERE REALLY A MOM?
Penny & Me (Hanson)
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT MOST OFTEN AS A MOM?
Love is the Reversal (Starfield)
WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY AS A MOM?
Beautiful One (Jeremy Camp)
WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU REGRET AS A MOM?
Seven Years in Tibet (John Williams)... how did my Nano know?
WHAT IS THE BEST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE AS A MOM?
Have a Little Talk with Jesus (Veggie Tales)... it's getting weird again

Pressure (Billy Joel)... they do, but I don't laugh
WHAT DID YOUR KIDS DO THAT MADE YOU CRY?
(It's) Hairspray (Hairspray Soundrack)
WHAT DO YOUR KIDS DO THAT SCARES YOU THE MOST?
Miss Independent (Kelly Clarkson)... my iPod needs an exorcism
HOW DO YOUR KIDS DESCRIBE YOU AS A MOM?
Into the Thick of It (The Backyardigans)... now that's just mean
IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?
Jerry Was a Racecar Driver (Primus)... I might not let my kids know I listen to Primus
WHAT WILL YOUR MOM OF THE YEAR CERTIFICATE SAY?
Girls Just Want to Have Fun (Cyndi Lauper)... sooooo cliche
Just for kicks I clicked to the next song to see what would pop up... "Whiskey Girl" by Tobey Keith. Interesting.
Also interesting is the fact that I had 4 John Williams, 2 Backyardigans, 2 Veggie Tales and 2 Hairsprays, but no Def Leppard, Air Supply, Lita Ford or Meat Loaf. That's not much of a shuffle mechanism if you ask me.
At this point I'm supposed to start tagging moms, but I'm putting out a collective "Tag, you're it!" And now I'm going to lurk around to find out what you guys are listening to when nobody else is listening.

this would be SO much fun but I still don't have an iPod (or nano, or mp3, etc) yet!!! I keep putting it off as that one more thing I don't need to have to mess with. (Also shows I haven't starting walking yet.)
Your list was hilarious!
I'm so glad that you played! Again and again I am astounded at how, as you wrote, eerily accurate some of these things are. I'm beginning to think that my iPod has some sort of Apple scanning nanotechnology listening in to the sounds of my house. Weird....so weird.
I love this! I will have to charge my MP3 so I can post this.
