I Liked it Better Before

"Before what?" you may ask.
Before M learned to read. Every sign we drive by, every newspaper, every magazine, every IM conversation I have on the computer she reads out loud.
The other night we were driving home from grocery shopping. As we drive by The Dancin' Bare, she proceeds to read the sign out front.
"Amateur Night 9PM June 14. Mom, what's amateur night?"
Well... I explained that an amateur was somebody who was not a professional at whatever they were doing like on Dancing With The Stars where they have the famous people who are amateurs with professional dancers. I thought this explanation would suffice, and she seemed to really grasp that concept since we watch Dancing With The Stars on a regular basis.
"Mom, have you ever been to amateur night?"
The only thing I could say was "No."
