Can someone explain this for me??

[BriansBride07]

OK so I am beginning to think that my son has some sort of talent. LOL. I was just in another room and for some reason I was singing to myself (not outloud) a part of a song. The next thing you know my son started singing the same song out loud. LOL it was sort of freaky. Can someone explain this to me? It happens quite often.

Did you have the radio on with that song on it this morning? Or play the song recently, some songs are so catchy that you "get them in your head." If that happens to you, it could probably happen to your son. Since you live together and probably spend a lot of time together you are probably listening to the same music.

I wish it was the explaination that you stated. But no the radio hasn't been on all day and my FH and my son were watching a deer hunting show on TV. the song is not a song you hear on the radio and im not even sure why I was singing it in my head but this is sort of silly but this is what I was singing.

Jimmy Crack Corn and I don't care. LOL over and over again.

I still think you were both exposed to that song somehow, somewhere or it's just one of those songs you personally cannot get out of your head when something jogs your memory, it is also likely that you and your son may share some similar memories or thought patterns.

The memory can be jogged in a multitude of ways that don't even make sense in the conscious mind (smells, maybe a word that was said during the deer hunting show or even something more obscure). Maybe he has a toy that plays it or something that reminds both of you of it. You may have unknowingly hummed a few notes of it while going about your business or heard your son singing it first very quietly so you only heard it subconsciously and then it was stuck in your head.

Maybe there is some sort of mother/son connection, which I personally think is mostly created b/c you do spend so much time together, you will have the same memories and kids learn most everything from their parents.

If you really think he is a mind reader, I guess you could have him evaluated by a psychologist or try holding a card without him seeing it and seeing if he can guess what it is, just make sure he can't see it through a reflection somewhere or even see through the card. I don't know if I necessarily believe that is possible, but there are all kinds of anomalies out there, but I, personally need more than a rendition of "Jimmy Crack Corn" to come to that conclusion.

You heard it on commercial while they were watching TV. It's part of a tv commercial about a call being dropped in the middle of a guy calling his FFiL that!

Nope don't even remember seeing that commericial before. I am just going to chalk it up to be a conicidence (sp). thanks for your advice.

That is weird...it's like when your listening to the radio, and if you guys are like me..I listent to the same station every day. so, somehow some days I will start singing a certain song, and lone behold that is the next one played...It really freaked me out a t first becuase it happened like all the time, but then I figured it out...you know how radio stations put their songs on like a track? well, I think I've got it somewhat memorized, so my brain like automatically is used to hearing that song, hence..I was singing it.

Wow! I amaze myself sometimes! LOL!!
