"Wrote a song about it, like to hear it...here it go"

Remember "In Living Color"? That was a great show. There where so many funny sketches from Fire Marshall Bill and Hommie The Clown, to Clavell, Howard Tibbs III, and Al MacAfee. On of the characters was Calhoun Tubbs. He was a blues singer who stared every scene with; "Wrote a song about it, like to hear it...here it go".

Riley is into singing. If she is not talking, she is singing. Quiet, does not seem to be an option. The other day, after singing every song she could think of, she starting asking, "Daddy, sing the Angel song. Daddy, sing the juice song. Daddy, sing the sofa song." Basically, she thinks that there should be a song about everything. Now, I do have to take some of the blame on this one, as I tend to make up songs that are as short as they are random (doughnut song). The concerning situation is that 3/4 of Riley's songs are Christmas songs. This begs the question, do we let her continue to sing Christmas songs all year or do we try to explain that these are seasonal and people look at you funny singing Jingle Bells in May at the beach when it is 85 degrees?Thankfully, I have a few more days to figure out my strategy.

So, until then.....OOHHHHH...you better watch out, you better not cry......
