My conversation with my five yaer old twins in the car earlier today:
Eleanor: Mommy, is there a Huckleberry Street?
Me: We know a Huckelberry. Our friend Stephanie’s baby is named Huckleberry.
Eleanor: Yes – but do you know any STREETS named Huckleberry?
Me: Well it certainly sounds like a street name. I’m sure there are some streets named Huckleberry – but I don’t actually KNOW a street named Huckleberry.
George: I know a street named Survival.
Me: [incredulous guffaw] WHAT?!
George: SURVIVAL. The street named Survival.
Me: Sounds like the title of a song. George – do you really think there is a street named SURVIVAL?
George: Yes. It’s real. But it’s very hard to find.
Honestly? Half the time, I have no idea what he’s talking about. But I don’t even care. And if I had any song writing talent at all, I would definitely work on one about this “street named Survival.” And George.
Kate, I bet you could write excellent song lyrics, and what better place to start than writing about George and the street named Survival? You’ve got a great line already, about this place that’s real, but very hard to find. Maybe wait until a few weeks after LTYM to start your new album, though. I smell Grammy…
