The first bad word DD#1 said with her tiny lisp was "THIT!" when she fell off her rocking horse.

Later, it developed further when she met the new dog down the street, "Porthit" (Porsche)

Never mind the mispronunciation of setting the table with "f**kin knives"

Has anyone actually learned the lyrics to Elton John's Rocket Man? (before I Google it) R"Rocket Maaaaan!..." "...movin all the shoes off everyone"?

I heard this today and thought it worth repeating
Also realized I did not know half the lyrics

We talk about growing blooms all the time...
But, blooms come in many forms.
We don't have to be biologically related to a child to be instrumental in seeing that it thrives -- just like the blooms in our gardens


Childrn will Listen

How do you say to your child in the night?
Nothing's all black, but then nothing's all white
How do you say it will all be all right
When you know that it might not be true?
What do you do?

Careful the things you say
Children will listen

Careful the things you do
Children will see and learn

Children may not obey, but children will listen
Children will look to you for which way to turn
To learn what to be
Careful before you say "Listen to me"
Children will listen

Careful the wish you make
Wishes are children
Careful the path they take
Wishes come true, not free
Careful the spell you cast
Not just on children
Sometimes the spell may last
Past what you can see
And turn against you
Careful the tale you tell
That is the spell
Children will listen

How can you say to a child who's in flight
"Don't slip away and I won't hold so tight"
What can you say that no matter how slight won't be misunderstood?

What do you leave to your child when you're dead?
Only whatever you put in it's head
Things that your mother and father had said
Which were left to them too

Careful what you say
Children will listen
Careful who you do it to
Children will see
And learn
Oh, guide them then step away
Children will glisten

Tamper with what is true
and children will turn
If just to be free
Careful before you say
"Listen to me"

Children will listen

I firmly believe that some rappers/singers aren't using the same lyrics and may not have a concise meaning for the lyrics they do use.

The group Iron Butterfly recorded a song called Ina gadda da vida..... The actual written lyrics were : In the Garden of Eden....

(the back story was that the lead singer was in an altered state and could not get the words out clearly... Whistling

That is certainly a classic for many of us in terms of "what the heck is that supposed to be???" I've actually thought about making an entrance sign for my garden saying "Inna Gadda Da Vida" Big Grin
