"Why do they wear those tight jeans?" Ella asked as we were watching the Jonas Brothers portion of the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus Best of Both Worlds Concert with the kids.
"I wore tight jeans when I was their age."
"Yeah, but you thought you were Jon Bon Jovi. It's a good thing you grew out of that stage before we met."
"…"
"So why are their jeans so tight? Is it because they think they're emus?"
Emus? I thought. What the hell is she talking about?

And then I realized my pop culturally ignorant wife meant emo.
I'm going to have to get her a subscription to CosmoGirl if she has any chance of conversing with our daughter in the future.
