Go Super to Listen Go Super!

When you want to put two things together, you often use glue or tape. Two pieces of paper will stick together with just a little bit of glue, but you’ll need a stronger glue for other material, like wood or glass. After the glue has dried, the top object (wood, paper, or whatever) is definitely stuck on the other thing. If the glue is good, the top object won’t move. It’s in a new position, and it’s staying there.

Being stuck on something, like music or a TV show, also means that a person isn’t moving. A person who is stuck on a band likely has that CD on repeat and isn’t planning on changing his music choice anytime soon. A girl who is stuck on a certain brand of clothing or make-up will always choose the same thing at the store. She knows what her favorite item is, and she’s going to keep using that same thing.

Actress Hilary Duff said she is not stuck on some of the music she listens to. She thinks the sound is good, but for her, words are what make a song really good. In order for her to be stuck on a song, the lyrics have to be as good as the the actual music.

What are you stuck on? Why is that thing your favorite?
