Interpretations:Please Pass The Milk

This is a very disturbing segment of what appears to be a normal, yet random in nature, song. We can infer from the song that it is about a girl who wants milk. We can put this girl's age at anywhere from 4 to 14, as most 14 year olds would rather drink soda than milk, and therefore would never ask to pass it. Also because she is saying "Please" she would be in her pre-rebellious teens. She says "Please" twice in each stanza, this points to the fact that the young girl is not familiar with more advanced structures of the english language and is reminiscent of "Run jack run" etc. Ultimately I would put the girl's age at about 7, but it still could be anywhere from 4 to 14. She asks to pass the milk twice during the course of the song. This implys that the first request was not heard, or not acknowledged. At such a young age she should not be ignored when requesting (very politely I might add) a simple glass of milk. This ultimately leads me to believe that the girl in Please Pass The Milk is in a very abusive household that does not allow her to recieve milk after repeated requests. Truly, this is one of TMBG's saddest, if not introspective, works to date. -* Armicron

Wow, I never thought of it that way. - ( Herwwiyal ? )

That's probably the funniest thing I've ever read.

Agreed with the previous poster.
