My daughter is currently obsessed with Michael Jackson.

That's a good thing, so long as the feelings aren't reciprocated.

hmmm... now he's "dreamy"

Yikes.  The child is deluded.  I showed her the transformation pics, and explained about the lawsuits...  She responded with "Well, he takes the crowd away."

Ok.  I can see that.  She's grooving on the music, but she also wants to meet him.

Well, on the one side, depending on which Michael Jackson she's obsessed with, there was a great deal of talent there at one time. On the other side, I don't think she's his type.

I've explained that to her.  She doesn't care.

Kind of like me and Ricky Martin.  I know I'm never going to meet him, so I can happily fantasize that he's straight.

OK- my "World's Best Mom" title is on the line.

Anybody know where I could find Michael Jackson's email or snailmail address?  There's a fan letter in the making.

I take back that whole "you take the fun out of everything" post. 

You rock.  :)

Let her meet him, he doesn't go for chicks anyway. 

And his music is pretty damned incredible, especially the very early stuff: Off the Wall, Thriller B-sides, and even Bad had some excellent tunes.

She's taught herself how to moonwalk now, and that is her current mode of movement throughout the house.

It confuses the dog.
