Sounds from my corner
After school, Sammy and Richard went to run errands so I could have some alone time. (Seriously, this house prep may be the end of me.) Richard, being the good musical, joke-telling daddy he is, takes his job very seriously. These two values came crashing together this afternoon as Richard pulled out his John Fogerty album (in cassette, of course) for the errand driving. Sammy came running into the kitchen saying "Mama! I heard the most awesomest song! It's John Fogerty!" He played it for me as I continued dishing up our Chicken Fajita Soup from the crock pot. Singing along he belted out these words: "I go crawling through a dried brain!"
Well, check out the lyrics here and scroll down to line two of paragraph three. There you'll see how a 5 year old creatively interprets Mr. Fogerty.
Now, as he's emerging from his bath, he's singing, "Oh yeah, I'm a rambunctious boy."
I have no idea. You John Fogerty fans, please enlighten me.
I listened to a fair bit of JF in years past, but not enough to help you my friend. I presume Rich is just standing by LOL?! ;) If it's any consolation, Michelle spent one toddler night, well past bedtime all-out tantrumming for "baby cheese-sauce." Ry and I were at wits end trying to calm her and meet her "need." It was with great humor and mostly relief that we finally made sense of what she was screaming/crying for... her "Baby JESUS" book! It was Advent and she knew what was important for bedtime! LOL! Oh, and I have this on good authority from the former minister at the St.Pt. UMC: Mr. Mister's "Kyrie Eleison" is really "Carry me a laser" ;) This discovery was made at an Ash Wednesday service when I was a teen! Hehehe! Namaste and grins! --Karla

Wow...my 3-year-old son Paavo loves that same John Fogerty album, especially song 3, "Blueboy." The youngsters love Fogerty!
