Several years ago we introduced Josie to the Stones--or at least to one of their songs. If she was demanding something or other--something we could not or would not supply, John would sing a chorus of "You can't always get what you wa-ant." He showed her a video of Themselves and she liked it a lot--our singing of it, not so much. But, of course, we continued to sing it when necessary.
I probably shouldn't have been surprised when, while we were painting one day, I said to Josie, "As soon as we finish here, I want us to go do the word cards."
She looked up from her painting and with a meaningful little smirk began to sing, "You can't always get what you want . . ."
