Send us a text

The obvious follow up to our last episode, songs about being a kid. Now we turn our attention to the parents. Or rather songs that explore the experience. Choosing tracks ranging from the sickly sentimental, to the dilemma of what to say when your kid asks you if you've ever taken drugs.
