Don't ya do "the mammies on the bus go shhhh-shhh-shhh?"

Do ya do Rolly-Poly, Zip ZipYer Zipper and My Little Puppy's Name is Rags
(his ears flip flop and his tail wig-wags)? I'm thinkin' Si and Lugh's
daddy would get a mighty kick outa the mammies doin' that one. :)

Could be worse. Wait a few years. It could be "Five Foot Two" with all
that ....could-she-could-she-could-she-coo crap. No one here can get that
outa their head. One of the band-kids is a nut for that kinda
tune......drives us bonkers. :)

To this day....the kid remarks how much he hated daycare *every time* he
passes the daycare woman's house. He went for 9 months, when he was two.
He screamed-bloody-murder *every time* I dropped him. :)
