He is the Dad



Anyone who knows Nels very well, knows that he likes music. This is a happy fact considering my own love of a wide and odd variety of songs - ranging across the genres. We are both masterful at making up songs to various different melodies floating through our brains at any given time. (Something that I inherited from my mama. One of Nels' claims to fame when we were dating was his ability to make up a song about anything.) It's not unusual to hear him belting out a Doors, Melvins, Judas Priest, or Queen of the Stone Age song with his own word substitutions - to me, the girls, or just himself. It's awesome. 


That being said, you would probably be surprised at hearing him sing "Glory of Love" to his kids . . . that is, until you heard the lyric modification. "I am the Dad, who will fight, off the mon--sters!"

Our Dad used to do that, too... probably where Nels gets it. I used to get really mad when Dad would re-name my favorite bands like "Pewey Lewis in the Nude" and "Pat Bent-Her-Guitar". Hilarious to know Nels is keeping the tradition alive! *Tracy*
