If you haven't put the pieces of this puzzle together just yet, I can help you no longer.

So the family was out to dinner last night and thanks to my wife playing on her phone, we were saddened to learn that Eddie Murphy had died. My wife started crying, I started imagining what Scott Baio was going to say about it, and my nine year old asked "Who the fuck is Eddie Murphy?" Nice job at attempting to ruin our dinner, Facebook.

few things
you know that was a hoax
I'm curious, what do you think baio would say? as Eddie doesn't drink or do drugs
your 9yrold says fuck at the dinner table so casually!

1.My wife didn't find out it was a hoax until I googled it when we got home and I told her it was a hoax.

2. I didn't know Eddie abstains. I guess it's just his girl who wants to party all the time?

3. She didn't really say that, I made that part up. But this story is true:

One time we were at the in-laws for Xmas dinner and we were drinking Hennepin with our cheese plate. My blowhard Catholic father-in law launches into this very long, detailed story about "Father Hennepin" which drones on and on. In the middle of a sentence , my then (3?) year old daughter blurts out, "THIS CHEESE IS SO FUCKING GOOD!". Everyone starts cracking up, except for my father- in-law, who continues the story without missing a beat and, noticing everyone is laughing, asks "Wait, what's everyone laughing at?"

Then for many years she avoided swearing (in spite of her mother's and to a much lesser extent father's sailor's mouth). But as she approaches 10, she's taken it up with gusto. For the past couple of weeks, I've been playing the last two albums by the New Pornographers in the car. When I told her the name of the band, (ala Raffi) she asked "What the hell kind of name is that? I explained the benign origins of the name. The next day I played them again and she groaned, "Oh no, not them again. I'm totally ok with the name, but I'm totally not ok with their music."

I'm stunned. Did not see that coming.

What I meant was that though those may not have been her exact words, it was he exact sentiment. If I told her it was the guy who played Gumby (damnit), it might have clicked for her who he is.

Ahh.  So the confusion stems from the word 'asked', as well as the use of the quotation marks around the thing that was not actually said.  Lemme try.

…and my nine-year old, aghast, wondered out loud who Eddie Murphy was.

god this is boring..

Agreed. Please post more about that book you read about that dude from New Order, I think there's still some meat on that bone.
