‘Yeah, mine and my brother Ben’s, oh and the spare we use as a kind of studio thingy. Mom and dad’s room is just through there.’ I pointed to their doorway.
‘Cool! What do you use the studio for?’
‘Oh, well, originally it was going to be for dad’s business, he’s an architect, but he was given an office, so we don’t really know yet. Ben wants to bash out the wall and have it as an extension to his room and mom wants a ‘parents retreat’.’ I laughed.
‘What do you want?’
‘Oh, I want to get some really cool recording stuff and have a mini music room, or have it as an art studio. I would love to learn to paint and stuff.’
‘Really? Both those ideas sound really cool! I would love to be able to take more time on drawing and painting. And you should really get some recording stuff, that would be awesome!’
‘Yeah! Maybe you should talk to my mom!’ I laughed.
It was lucky Ben and dad weren’t going to be home for tea as the table only sat four.
Diana sat on one side of the table next to where mom sat so that left Taylor and I to sit on the other side. (not that I minded of course!)
We had some kind of chicken for tea, but I didn’t really pay much attention to it.
After tea was over, Taylor asked to see my room.
‘Uh, do you really want to? I mean, I’d be kinda weird for me to walk into a room and see millions of me’s staring back at me!’ I laughed.
He shrugged.
‘Ok! Come on.’ I led him up the stairs and to my room.
We walked past Ben’s room and Taylor peered in.
‘Pretty bare.’
‘Yeah, he isn’t one for posters and stuff. He doesn’t even really like many things. Weird boy.’
‘What not even us?’ Tay grinned.
‘No, actually he doesn’t. One of his arguments for not moving here was that you lived here, sorry. But, at the start, he had MMMBop on tape!’
Taylor just laughed.
‘And here is my room! But proceed with caution, there are a LOT of posters of you guys.’ I shrugged.
Actually I was a bit embarrassed, I mean, taking Taylor Hanson into my room with millions of posters everywhere! It was weird.
Taylor walked in and looked around.
‘Guess it’s kinda weird hey?’
‘No, I am flattered you like us so much! I must admit, it might freak me out if I spent a long time in here though!’ he laughed.
‘Just curious, how did you find out about us? And what made you become a fan?’ he asked.
‘Oh! Well, see, I was listening to the radio and Rick Dee said he was putting on a hit pick called MMMBop by three brothers from Oklahoma. I admit at first I thought, MMMBop? What kind of a name is MMMBop? But they put it on and I was bopping around my room! I thought it was the best song. And I wrote it down, you know, thinking if I ever heard it again, I’d tape it! Little did I know! Then I kept hearing it and I only knew a few words but then I taped it and learnt them all! And I guess the rest is history!’
He smiled.
