Snowflake is a musical lovebug. One of his favorites right now is "Big Rock Candy Mountain" from the "Oh Brother! Where Art Thou" soundtrack. He likes to share the song.
I sing: "One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was..."
Snowflake: "Bu-nin'"(burning)
Me: "Down the tracks came a hobo..."
Snowflake: "Hi-kin'"
Me: "And he says boys I'm not..."
Snowflake: "Tu-nin" (turning)
This song has been on repeat on the iPod for about two months now.
In the car we've been listening to The Smiths - The Best Of. I think he loves the happy little rhythms of Johnny Marr and Morrissey's loungy breathy swoons. If the radio is on, he starts to chant,
"Chom-in? Chom-in?"
Only a mother would know he's begging me for "This Charming Man". I oblige happily. Last night on the way to Target he begins to chirp,
"Comb? Comb? Comb?"
"Babes, I'm not sure what you mean." I say a little perplexed. Then it hits me. He's asking for "Girlfriend In A Coma."
"Girlfriend In A Coma?" I say.
"Ya!" he sweetly gushes.
He's got me under his thumb. Per the taskmasters orders, we go back and forth between these two songs every couple of seconds. If I try to change it up a little and play "Panic On The Streets Of London" or "Shoplifters OF The World", he's all...
"No! No! No!" as though it was the end of the world.
I am the DJ to his two song selections. It's almost like repeating highschool, over and over, and over...
