We’re in the car, listening to Wilco’s “Sky Blue Sky.” Usually we listen to “Shake It Off” or “Either Way” repeatedly, per Poppy’s request. This time, though, we make it all the way to “Hate It Here” without a request for “one more time” on her favorites. About halfway through the song, a little giggle erupts from the back of the van.

“I like this song, too!” my little music critic exclaims. “This is a great song!”
