Pig Island! August 24, 2005
Posted by spacemom in : Life...otherwise , add a commentWelcome to my life, I can only sing “Pig Island”. Let me backtrack a bit. Soleil just turned 3 a month ago. She is teaching herself how to read with Sandra Boynton’s
Philadelphia Chickens. Lovely. This means we listen to this DAMN ALBUMN CONSTANTLY (except track 10. Soleil hates track 10 and will go on for hours about how track 10 is horrible. I think it has to do with the aardvarks.) Apparently, there are BOY songs (sung by men) GIRL songs and Pig Island.
Dr Jay (AKA daddy) can sing the boy songs. Soleil can sing the girl songs. Mommy can sing Pig Island AND ONLY Pig Island.
A conversation from the ride to day care today:
Me: “cows! We’re remarkable cows!”
Soleil: “No! Mommy! You can only sing seventeen!”
Me: (to the tune of cows) “seventeen. We’re remarkable seventeen!”
Soleil:”NO NO NO! Only SONG seventeen. Only Pig Island”
Me: (to the tune of cows) “Pig Island! Pig Island!”
Soleil: (laughing, but getting a wee bit pissed at mom at this point) “NO ONLY WHEN SEVENTEEN IS PLAYING! NO MORE SINGING MOMMY! NO MORE UNLESS IT IS PIG ISLAND PLAYING”
Me: Fine…(I start whistling the cows song)
Soleil. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sigh such is my life. Thanks Sandra Boynton. My ride in the car is now a living hell. Scott Bakula and I can sing Pig Island. I actually listened to the albumn when I was alone in the car so I could sing the other songs….
