Slache Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Everytime we sing Mary Had A Little Lamb Mary screams "STOP!", desperately runs to the other room, grabs her little lamb, comes back, sits down with it and says "Okay, you can sing now" in a very sweet voice. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Do you know the Five Little Ducks song? Here's just the first verse: Five little ducksWent out one dayOver the hill and far awayMother duck said"Quack, quack, quack, quack."But only four little ducks came back. I could not sing this song because ds would go into a full meltdown because the mother duck lost her babies. It didn't matter that they come back at the end of the song. I mean full sobbing, hiccuping, almost throwing up because he was so upset. He still really loves his mama and wants me to be happy. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 The other day Little Duck spent about 5 minutes happily singing at the top of her lungs, "I'M A CINNAMON BUN; COME EAT ME UP!!!!" When I finally decided to pay attention to her, I discovered her laying on the living room floor, on her back, all rolled up in a white blanket with nothing but her blonde hair and big smiling face poking out. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Yeah, that catastrophe is a hoot. My mother sings a slower version of it, to help differentiate lmnop. It's the same until you get to LMN. So it goes like this (with Twinkle in parentheses just as a guide): ABCDEFG (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) HIJK (How I wonder) LMN (What You are) OPQ (Up Above) RST (The World So High) UVW (Like a Diamond) XYZ (In the sky) Now I know my abc's; next time won't you sing with me. g][/url] If I remember correctly, this is the way MFW teaches it too.

Renai Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Frugal to a fault. Yesterday, I bought six organic canisters of raisins that expired in August because they were 99 cents. FOR ORGANIC RAISINS. They taste perfectly fine. :D I'm just not that picky so cat pee lotion (only if I bend over with no pants) is low on my list of problems. :hat: See above. I'm a pants-wearer, so I'm safe. Dh thinks I am a supermodel no matter what I do (and his sense of smell is just terrible), which I appreciate more and more the older I get as my face slides slowly towards the floor. #oldage #thestruggleisreal But see, I would smell it. Even if you have pants and without me bending over. I thought you loved me better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you smell it from New Mexico?

Well, maybe, just maybe, if you promise to not wear it within my vicinity (like when in the ITT thread), then it'll be okay.
