Me -
When my sister Aurella was little she once said " I miss my Jack" (Jack is our brother).
Mom said "Why is he your Jack?'
Aurella answered by shouting "He 's not your Jack. He's mine and Melia's !"
Mom -
When Melia was little she said "I have a big boy."
"Who is your Big Boy?" I asked .
"Jack." she replied.
We welcome you to share your funny stories with us. Tune in Monday for another regular Says Me Says Mom discussion topic .

Lady Gaga
Me - Lady Gaga, wow! Lady Gaga is one of my top favorite singers. The other is Selena Gomez. Some of my favorite songs of Lady Gaga are "Telephone", "Born This Way", "Bad Romance", "Poker Face" and "Edge of Glory". I watched her on Oprah with Mom. I found out a lot of interesting facts about her like why she dresses so crazy. She said it's because she'd always been creative and loved to dress up. I learned why she calls herself Lady Gaga too. She said it was because she used to work with a person who called herself Lady Starlight, and she (Lady Gaga) loved the Queen song "Radio Gaga." She is a really really great person even if she sometimes can weird people out because of her strange costumes. I think a lot of what she wears is really strange too although some are not as bad. She and her mother have a foundation called The Born This Way Foundation where they get together people and tell them how they can be who they want to be, and it doesn't matter what other people think of them. As a child her named Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta she was bullied. I don't know why because she seemed to dress normal then and she went by her real name. I get the impression that because of that she now dresses so strange because she wants to show people that she doesn't care what they think of her. She wants to show kids that they should be that way too. Anyway, however, she dresses, I really love her music. Lady Gaga is really awesome. If you haven't ever listened to her music, you should try it, and if you have and like it than you have good taste. Lady Gaga has a goof heart.
Mom - At first, I kind of thought Lady Gaga was a freak. I mean the way she dresses and all can be very strange. Then, they covered a lot of her songs on Glee, and I started to like them. When I heard the song "Born This Way." I liked it. When I really listened to the words, I loved it. It talks about every person being important (a superstar) and every person being who they were meant to be. That is such an important concept if more people got that and really accepted it, there would be less bullying and less wars. Those things are all about people thinking their way is the only way or there way is the better way or they have a right to tell other people what to do or how to life or that they are just out and out better than other people. Lady Gaga is all about tolerance. She doesn't just sing about it either. She and her mother have a foundation, The Born This Way Foundation, to help empower young people and stop bullying. Lady Gaga herself was bullied as a child. Some people of lesser tolerance might think that she brought it on herself if she dressed and behaved as strangely then as she does now. However, that is precisely the point. It doesn't matter how a person behaves or how they act or how they look or anything. Everyone has a right to be who they want to be and nobody else has a right to hurt them or harass them in anyway because of that. I am sure that when Lady Gaga herself was born a little girl named Stefanie Joanne Angelina Germanotta her parents had no idea what she would turn out to be. However, they must have done something right because no matter what she acts like or dresses like or anything else, her heart is definitely in the right place.
And that's our view. Tune in tomorrow for a new Friday feature.

Dancing With the Stars
Me - Dancing with the Stars, wow! Dancing With the Stars is one of the only reality shows I watch. It is so good. This season Roshon Fegan from Shake It Up, which is one of my favorite shows is dancing on the show. I very much think he will win, but there are two other people who are doing really well so far also. Melissa Gilbert from Little House on the Prairie is also on this season. Although I wasn't alive when the show was actually on, I watch reruns. As Laura, she was so cute. Now, she doesn't look anything like that. I don't believe it's her. Whenever, they show her I say to Mom "That's not Melissa Gilbert!" Whenever there is a new couple dancing, like with award shows, we get serious about everything. We say whether we like the shoes, the outfits, the hair etc. I hated the season that Nicole Scherzinger won. I really wanted Anna Trebunskaya and Evan Lysacek. I love Anna, and I really love saying her name. I'm obsessed with accents so I love that a lot of the dancers including Anna have foreign accents. There is only one accent I have ever heard that I absolutely despise and that's the one belonging to Martina Navratilova. I hate her accent so much. Dancing With the Stars is a really good show.
Mom - Dancing With the Stars is one of the few reality shows I actually like. For my girls and I, it so much more than just about the dancing. It's about the dresses and the shoes and the hair and even about the music. As we watch, we give a thumbs up or thumbs down to every element of the show. We watch the show recorded a day or two after it airs so we never vote on the outcome. Also, we don't watch the results show which, unless there is somebody appearing on it that we really want to hear singing, we think is a waste of time. I mean, why can't they just say who got eliminated at the beginning of the next episode instead of wasting a whole hour of television doing it? One of the things I really like about the show is that everybody on it is already a professional dancer or famous (or infamous) for doing something else. So if they don't win, they can go back to whatever it is they usually do. In other words, nobody is getting their dreams crushed which is one of the things I don't like about most other reality competitions. We don't watch every season of the show. We only watch when the contestants interest us. I would say we've watched about half the seasons. Our favorite was the season Kristi Yamaguchi won although last season when J.R. Martinez won was really inspiring. Generally, we agree with the final results except the season when Nicole Sherzinger won.We really wanted Evan Lysacek to win. Although I have to admit, Nicole was good and deserving of the award. We just liked Evan a little bit better. Watching Dancing With Stars almost inspires me to go out and take dancing lessons myself but if I am not going to have the wardrobe and live band and everything that they do then I think I'll pass.
And that's our view. Tune in Thursday for another topic.
