Lick It Like A Lollipop...

Have you heard the song "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent?

Well my 11 year old has and now she is singing it!

I guess some of the boys in 6th grade have figured out that the song has some, how should I say SEXUAL OVERTONES in it, and they have decided that the song is their new anthem.

Thankfully Momo has only caught on to the chorus.

Anyways... today, as we were finishing up a wholesome afterschool snack she looks me dead in the eye and sings:

"I'll take you to the candy shop, I'll let you lick the lollipop"

i looked back at her, probably with my mouth half open in a frozen state of shock/confusion, then she says:

"Oh my gosh mom...the boys are so gross...they keep singing this song and I just can't get it out of my head. Can you believe it means oral sex...uh...GROSS"

Then she rolls her eyes in disgust, puts her dish in the sink and climbs the stairs while humming the tune of the candyshop... Now...I am sitting here wondering what I should say/do...

We have talked about music and appropriateness (in regards to sex, violence, cussing etc) in the past, but this seems like something different to me...Partly becasue Momo has expressed how overly sexualized the 6th grade boys (and many girls) are...

Honestly, even though Momo and I can talk about anything EVEN SEX, I'm a bit stumped with this one because I don't want to get to preachy with her...

Anyhow, I'd love to hear what you all think! Use the comment space to share your ideas!

By the way, if you are not familiar with the song...you have to read some of the lyrics:

CANDYSHOP - 50 Cent

I'll take you to the candy shop
I'll let you lick the lollypop
Go 'head girl, don't you stop
Keep going 'til you hit the spot (woah)

You can have it your way, how do you want it
You gon' back that thing up or should I push up on it
Temperature rising, okay lets go to the next level
Dance floor jam packed, hot as a teakettle
I'll break it down for you now, baby it's simple
If you be a nympho, I'll be a nympho
In the hotel or in the back of the rental
On the beach or in the park, it's whatever you into
Got the magic stick, I'm the love doctor
Have your friends teasin you 'bout how sprung I gotcha
Wanna show me how you work it baby, no problem
Get on top then get to bouncing round like a low rider
I'm a seasons vet when it come to this shit
After you work up a sweat you can play with the stick
I'm tryin to explain baby the best way I can
I melt in your mouth girl, not in your hands (ha ha)

Give it to me baby, nice and slow
Climb on top, ride like you in the rodeo
You ain't never heard a sound like this before
Cause I ain't never put it down like this
Soon as I come through the door she get to pullin on my zipper
It's like it's a race who can get undressed quicker
Isn't it ironic how erotic it is to watch em in thongs
Had me thinking 'bout that ass after I'm gone
I touch the right spot at the right time
Lights on or lights off, she like it from behind
So seductive, you should see the way she wind
Her hips in slow-mo on the floor when we grind
As Long as she ain't stoppin, homie I aint stoppin
Drippin wet with sweat man its on and popping
All my champagne campaign, bottle after bottle its on
And we gon' sip til every bubble in every bottle is gone
