You know!?, a moment, can be a musical moment, or an every day moment, but something special or someone special that has lifted you from the every day and makes you smile, outside or inside, or both! | ||

The end of Saturday evening,with my 10 year old daughter announcing that the school "vide grenier" (like a car boot sale or a yard sale for the Americans?) was her favourite day of the year. Like her birthday and xmas rolled into one apparently, 'cause she gets to play with her friends all day long. Sorry for going all soppy there, but it reminded me of the Ian McEwan book ("Child in Time" ?) where he watches his daughter on a beach, building sandcastles and realises that he can never achieve that degree of concentration on one thing as an adult. Our days tend to be so 'fractured' over numerous tasks, stresses and worries. | ||

Very nice Andrew! That MCewan ref, phew, so so right eh!? Actually, the reason I started moment of the day thread, was initially, whilst cooking a roast for Sunday dinner yesterday, I had The Smiths, first album on the kitchen cd player. It sounded wonderful, and just as the album had started, it I was already hearing in my head the outro guitar picking on Pretty Girls Make Graves,although I was only at the first song, Reel around the fountain. Then it came to PGMG, the song grinds to a halt and then and the outro guitar, what a moment!!, a beautiful beeautiful piece of guitar chemistry, the rhythm and the picking, for me anyway, my moment of the day. Then...similar to Andrew I had 2 monets with one of the kids, I danced with one of my twin daughters, Kitty, to the dulcit sounds of The Smiths! Or rather she danced to me! then set the table and took our individual plates and placed them on said atable! A further 2 moments there.! PS Feel free to go soppy on this thread people! | ||

I think for me it was realising my 6yo daughter was walking around the house humming the piano intro for Magazine's 'Parade' | ||

3 o'clock this morning, 5 yr old traps his fingers in bedroom door on way to toilet. Standing up for a wee with his bleary eyed dad consoling him and who is thinking he needs to get back to bed. 'Oh I didn't know I needed a poo' Half an hour of cleaning up later...the delights of being depended on can't be expressed! | ||

Gracie one of me twins is playing quietly, kneeling in front of a faux metal waste basket, lying on its side, throwing a wee rubber ball in to it and it makes an oriental 'ping' and rolls back out, such contenment! (it sounds like Richard Barberi is messing with sounds off of his prophet 5 in 1978 from here!!) | ||

My daughter Sarah who has just turned 14 was ripping some CDs to her laptop so she could transfer them to her ipod. I looked at the pile of CDs and one of them was Fegmania by Robin Hitchcock. I said, "what made you choose that?" and she said "I've heard it millions of times in mums car". Now I am a bit of a Hitchcock novice but I'm sure I recall a few people here rating that album. Other CDs she was ripping included a Cure comp, an Adam and The Ants comp,an Undertones comp and a Chameleons album. Needless to say she hadnt chosen any of my CDs!! | ||

Has anyone else noticed that most of us on this board who have mentioned children have girls? There's a PhD thesis in there somewhere: Are male Go-Betweens fans more likely to father female children? | ||

Two boys and one girl in my case Pádraig. So you can put that thesis on hold! | ||

One boy here...and he was born in 1990, one of the bigger early years of my fandom. | ||

Fellas, I know it's not exclusively girls, but the law of averages says it should be about 50:50 and that seems not to be the case here! (Of course now you might all come out and say how many male children y'all have!) | ||
