Reason #2048 why my daughter has no chance of being normal

[changeyourstars8]

She adores the Sweeney Todd soundtrack. I was singing the Johanna reprise song to her this morning and she was grinning like crazy. Giggled at the "Mischief! Mischief!" part. Next up: RENT. :-)

For further proof, here's a normal everyday conversation in my family. After watching I Am Legend, Devin read the book , and then this happened--

Devin: "I want to live alone in a world that's been taken over by vampires. That'd be awesome. I could run around naked all day."
Me: "Yeah, on the list of 'mental images I did not want', that one's pretty high up there."
Chris: "The poor, poor vampires."
Devin: "What? They wouldn't be awake. Unless I started singing karaoke."
Chris: "Naked Karaoke in Vampire City. There's the new Sci-Fi Channel original."
Devin: "Cool. Steph, write it. Anyway, I'd leave 'em alone, so I'd live."
Me: "Oh, b.s. you'd leave them alone. . ."
Devin: "Okay, yeah, I would draw mustaches on them while they were asleep."
Me: "Kid, if vampires ever took over you wouldn't even know about it because you'd be holed off in your room playing video games. Then they'd kill you."
Devin: "Long as I finished the level, I'd be cool with that."
Mom: "Devin."
Devin: "What?"
Mom: *shakes head and wisely goes back to her book*
Devin: "I still want to run around naked, though."
Me: "I'm sure there's a nudist beach somewhere that wouldn't kick you out."
Dad: *comes into room* "Um, I should be glad I missed this conversation, shouldn't I?"
Chris: "Very."
Devin: "Maybe at graduation. . ."
Mom: "Devin!"

You are so the kind of Mom I hope to be! :D

Normal is boring, trust me.

How old is Devin?

Devin is your...brother?

Mom: "Devin!"

I think this needs to be wailed in the manner of Dave Seville of Chipmunks fame:
"Deviiiiiiin!"

Clearly Devin and Alvin have much in common.
