Last night, the kids and I were sitting in the library, reading some books before bed. The kids decided they did not want to listen to me finish the fascinating story of the Wizard of Oz, and began looking at various other books. For some reason I started singing a little diddy…
Mommy: “There were four on the bed and the little one said…roll over…roll over…so they all rolled over and one fell out! There were three on the bed….”
Anya: “No mommy, see!”
Anya was holding a book of children’s rhymes and it was turned to the exact page where this song was in it! I had NO IDEA that the song was even in that book and it is a THICK book. I don’t think Anya has looked at the book more than a few times either, and certainly we never read that part in it. I was shocked…shocked, I tell you…at such a coincidence occurring.
cue the “do-do-do-do” music… 😉
hmmmmm…a mystery!
Yep, that’s pretty feaky! You need to put those psychic powers to work for you!
Not so freaky when combined with the fact that I read that book of poems to the kids 3 times in the week prior. Now that’s freaky! Even Kailan sits for close to an hour listening to me read it. It’s becoming Anya’s book of choice. I think she likes that every few pages she finds something familiar, and if I know the tune I sing them.
So there you have it…Dad pops in to completely ruin the mystery factor! 🙂
