[She shrugs] BNL? We just called them the Naked Ladies at my house. My dad was a fan of them. He would always sing the song about having a million dollars?
Barenaked Ladies, in full. Canadian band. "If I Had a Million Dollars" is on the same album, like... two tracks later? I don't have the whole thing downloaded, so I can't double-check for sure.
[Claudia's smile fades a little.] I don't remember who brought it home, in my case. Could've been my parents or either of my siblings. I was like five.
[Claire was the most likely culprit by a long shot, but again: Claudia was five.]
