See, I have a certain thuggish reputation to uphold, so could you please not tell anyone I was listening to Lauryn Hill? Granddad: Sure thing. Hey Huey!! Riley here is listening to Lauryn Hill!! I guess he's getting in touch with his sensitive side!! Hee-hee, what's that word you kids use..."sike"?
