So, seeing as I had quite the "bad boy" hang-up in my teens and early twenties, it is only fitting that Lily (at 2 1/2) is already showing signs of following in my footsteps. I stopped the tv on "American Idol" a few nights ago and as soon as Steven Tyler came on the screen, she said "Oooh, who's that?" When I told her his name is Steven Tyler, she was hooked. She immediately went to get her toy microphone and made up a song about him - the only recognizable words of which are Steven Tyler (though sometimes it sounds like Steven Tyban). She watches You Tube videos of him all of the time now and whenever the camera focuses on anyone else, she has to know "where's Steven Tyler? what's Steven Tyler doin?"
Fortunately, having come out the other side of my bad boy phase mostly intact, I hold out hope for her to do the same.
