Re-writing songs.
I love listening to Ruby sing along to stuff. The lyrics she comes up with are often a marked improvement on the original.
Yesterday, while listening to a McCartney Christmas-y song she came up with these:
Play, find some beans,
Play, pipe some peas…
Both excellent games I’m sure.
On Mucus
Little snotty Johnny,
Gave his cold to me,
I passed it on to Lucy,
Who passed it on to Lee,
Lee gave it to his Mummy,
Who gave it to my Dad,
Who gave it back to Johnny,
And now he’s very sad.
And so it keeps on going,
This cold we all have got,
A never ending virus,
Immortality in snot.
Stage School.
Ruby was talking about the ‘Key Stages’ that schools are split into these days. Apparently the big children are in Key Stage 2, then there are ‘Year Twos’ who are in Key Stage 1.
I asked Ruby what stage she was in. She looked at me thoughtfully and announced “I think it is the Dalmatian Stage, or something like that”.
Grandma’s Mountains
Ruby announced today that Grandma’s Mountains are very pointy.
Make of that what you will.
