"I think their names are Taronteo and Hepcat." My daughter starts a conversation midway. There is no lead in. No introduction. No warning.
"Who? What? What are you talking about?"
"I think their names are Taronteo and Hepcat." My daughter repeats. Once again providing no explanation."
"Who? What? What are you talking about?"
We've begun a vicious cycle.
I demand more information.
"Boys in the school."
I wait.
Nothing.
"Where are they from," I ask.
"Greenland."
"No. Russia."
"Maybe California. I'm not sure, Mama."
Is Hepcat a California name?

Ha Ha.....riveting conversations between you and your daughter.
ReplyDeleteMothers are supposed to be mind-readers you know.
Maybe they are nick-names.
I checked google and Hepcat is a ska and reggae band formed in southern California in 1989.
No joy with Taronteo.

Hepcat was a hip name for Beboppers (sp?) back in the forties. DO NOT ask me how I know this. Possibly this is a grand person of one of those dudes.
