Perspective

In a month it won’t be so charming and adorable that she loves to sing, “Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells Jingle ALL THE WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY” on repeat for extended periods. Consider this before you teach her new songs.

    Some advice – If you teach your kids the following song:

    Comet, will make your teeth so clean.
    Comet, is made of kerosene.
    Comet, will make you vomit.
    So buy some comet, and vomit, today!

    You might expect calls from non-amused parents who really ought to be dammed glad you didn’t teach the little buggers “Barnacle Bill the Sailor.”

    Apparently I went around for weeks on end singing both “Winnie the pooh, winnie the pooh” (no other lyrics, just that line) and “The wonderful thing about Tiggers” shortly after the disney cassette was released. That, and the commercial jingle for Western Airlines, which my young brain processed as “Mustard Airlines”. My mother used to remind me of the Pooh songs, and my father still gets a kick out of reminding me about Mustard Airlines on a regular basis. Fortunately all in fun.
