According to Tiller. . .
We were sitting around the kitchen table and somehow California came up.
Tiller blurted out, “California is scary!”
“What? I said. “Why is California scary? You have never even been to California!”
“But there’s that hotel.”
I stare blankly at her.
“Hotel?”
She stares at me like I am the dumbest person on earth. How do i not get it, when it is so obvious?
“The hotel, mama. . .the one from the song, with the monster?”
I blink.
“The Hotel California?”
“Yes,” she said, completely matter of fact.
“It has a monster?”
“Yes, mama.”
“Oh.”
So, i sang the whole thing to myself, and sure enough, there is the following line:
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast
Wow. Hysterical. I really didn’t know she was paying that much attention to the lyrics to all the songs we listen to in the car.

LOL!!
Hope they don’t ask what Colitas are!
That is so cute!
And the monster won’t let you ever leave.
Very funny. Hearing that song always makes me think of “The Shining”.
