putting the routine in our morning routine
This morning we were all doing our respective morning rituals to get ready for our respective days of content managing, programming, and gluing pieces of yarn to construction paper while trying not to get bopped on the head or bitten by "friends" (and we call our jobs work!). Since the Bean and I had been on our own for a while, we'd developed a little morning routine that my husband hadn't yet seen.
Me (singing from the bathroom while putting on makeup): I really can't...
Bean (from the living room where he was finishing breakfast): STAY!
Me: I really must...
Bean: GO!
Me (entering the living room with big sweeping arms): 'Cause baby it's cold...
Together: OUT-SIDE!
Husband: Why does he shake his head like that when he says "outside"?
Me: What do you mean?
Husband: He goes like this (shakes head and flutters hands in the air)
Me: Oh that's his Big Broadway Finish.
(pause)
Me: I'm making him gay, aren't I?
The Bean and I really enjoy that song especially now that cold weather is upon us. What could be better than teaching your toddler a Dean Martin song about slipping a hot girl a mickey so she'll give you some loving against her will? I also like how the song rhymes "delicious" with "delicious", which is one of my favorite songwriting techniques. The Beastie Boys also employed it with great success by rhyming "commercial" with "commercial".
I guess some words just sound better when rhymed with themselves. Someone shold write a song where every line ends in "orange".
