I've heard this song before. Neil Brewer... Three Kids in a Car. I haven't heard it in a while, but I've always found it funny.
I remember at one point a lot of the mom listeners of Kids Place Live were calling in and saying it was somewhat unlikable or inappropriate or not a proper interpretation of real life or something. I don't remember... I remember thinking the arguments were ridiculous. It is ABSOLUTELY how real life is. And, maybe that's why those moms didn't like the song. I don't know. (sorry... babbling)
This morning it came on while we were driving to the Y... because I torture my children by signing them up to do miserable things like dancing and t-ball. The nerve of me.
This morning when I heard this song all I could think was "I TOTALLY know how that mom feels. TOTALLY. Give me one more kid in the car and I AM that mom."
Go ahead... click play... and please tell me that this song isn't just about me.
Oh what a beautiful day.... (repeat, repeat repeat... because if you say it enough you start to believe, right?)

LOVE this song!! I think it is incredibly real and true.....I think I am losing my mind with 3 kids!! oh what a beautiful day.... :)
Hi Colleen,
Believe me, I know how real it is. Although we get along very well these days, at that point in my life, my little brother was certainly a miserable worm, and my big sister couldn't wait to be gone. It was an easy one to write!
Have an oh, so beautiful day -
Neil

Hi Neil!!!
I'm slightly star struck that you actually commented on this. : )
I love that you were one of the kids in the car. And that you now know how your mom must have been feeling. Oh, how REAL it is.

You'd get a kick out of a book I've written as well. It will be out for iPad in late July, but I have a few of the last of the remaining paperback versions. If you send me an address, I'll get one out to you. Send it to nhbrewer@ius.edu - Neil
Ever receive that book?
Yes! And the cd! You are awesome.
Summer has taken over my life... but we're enjoying your music in the car daily.
(Three Kids in a Car still my favorite!)
Hello Colleen-
Since we've last had contact, the book has become available on Kindle, iPad, Nook and more e-readers. It can be quickly downloaded from my site at www.neilbrewer.com in the event you enjoyed it, and would like to share this news.
On another note, Three Kids in a Car is now being made into a cartoon video by an animation studio in Denver.
- Should be fun!
Neil
