The best answer a Mom can give is to sit her kid down a say “It’s much easier for me to show you than tell you, so listen to this and when you’re finished listening… listen again and you tell Mom what’s a Funkadelic. No right or wrong answer and please let your mind be Free.”

I would have been fine but my retort actually got me in big trouble. I guess I should not have responded to her instructions with “That’s what the funk I thought.” Oh well…
