A funny thing

I am back, yet again. Funny story on miscommunications. I am chatting with the Lad and we are talking music. He asks if I have the U2 album with "Bloody Sunday" on it. Incidentally, that would be WAR, which I had on cassette (in fact, I recall listening to that album while driving up to Haliburton, on my birthday no less, in 1983, to visit my brother at camp. I never did get around to picking up my sister at a different camp up there) with Simple Minds "New Gold Dream" on the flip side.

Anyway, I say that I have only one U2 CD. He tells me it is "A Shooting Baby". I am racking my brain trying to figure that one out. I really do not recall that as a U2 album title. Then it dawns on me that I have "Achtung Baby!". The Lad replies, "That was what I said, "A Shooting Baby"."

The saddest part is that he took some German lessons this year from his French teacher (she must have been invaded or she teaches Vichy French). So suddenly, Achtung becomes "a shooting" which sadly, when I look at the big picture, makes sense.

That is all, go on now and chuckle. Ciao!
