We use the Portal TV to video chat with our families. We also use it for Story Time (Itsy Bitsy Spider and Three Little Pigs being a current fav) and music since it has a Spotify app you can download.

When you click on the Spotify app, it opens up to the homepage where it shows your most recently played playlists.

And, as always, Elmo pops up. As well as Daniel Tiger. And then some random Morning Songs playlist created by Lovevery. (RIP all the hip-hop and 90s music I used to listen to).

So, every time it opens up, I’ll ask Ishu, “You wanna listen to Elmo, Daniel Tiger, or OTHER?”

And it makes me laugh every freaking time. Because he’s overdone it with Elmo and Daniel Tiger. So he inevitably chooses “Other.”

“Udder,” he says.

So, I’ll click on the playlist. And the song, “Good Morning Sun” will start playing. He smiles real big and screams “UDDEEEERRRRRRR” (Other!)”

He’s a damn sponge, I knew that.

But it’s even funnier when he absorbs the things I didn’t intend for him to absorb.
