Does anyone have all the answers?

One answer. Three more questions.

[jafsjr]

Why did my Dad buy me a Kids Bop CD?

[whiskey_soul]

Because he could.

What's a Kids Bop CD? Do people even still buy CDs? Do you like it?

[jafsjr]

It's sanitized music for kids, and I don't even have a CD player. I haven't opened it.

[whiskey_soul]

Music is good though. A good thing to spend money on.

[jafsjr]

[Shows him the CD. It's been unwrapped, but not open.] He could have given me an iTunes gift card.

[shelbycobra]

No. But that's not necessarily a bad thing.

[whiskey_soul]

Huh... What's iTunes?

[jafsjr]

Why? Wouldn't it be easier to have the answers?

[jafsjr]

It's where I download music. For my iPhone.

[shelbycobra]

Easier isn't always better. Sometimes - most times - the real truth is in the search.

[jafsjr]

...Really?

[whiskey_soul]

Ohh. That stuff. I never really figured any of that stuff out.

[shelbycobra]

Really.

In my job, one of the most rewarding parts is coming to work every day and trying to find the answers. The experience of putting the pieces together and seeing what we come up with.

[jafsjr]

So how do you listen to music?

[whiskey_soul]

My guitar mostly.

I have a tape-player in the car too though.

[jafsjr]

That's not the answer I wanted.

[shelbycobra]

Life does that to you sometimes.

[jafsjr]

How do those work? Like records?

[jafsjr]

How old were you when you started racing?

[shelbycobra]

I was ten.

[jafsjr]

I wish my Dad would have let me drive when I was that young.

[whiskey_soul]

Kinda! Pop one into the player, press the button. Not as good as records though.

[jafsjr]

What if you don't like the song? How do you skip?

[shelbycobra]

It's not for everyone. It's not for most people.
