too much Brite music

Mom,

I would like to let you know that your obsession with Raffi music (to be fair, other children's music too) has left something to be desired in the "normalcy" department. Let me provide you with a few examples: There are times when I am cleaning and I begin to sing to myself. This alone may be acceptable, but the content I am afraid is not. Without a preschool child to enjoy this madness it is strange. The most common cleaning song would have to be "Clean up! Clean up! Everybody Everywhere..." There is also "When we're helping we're happy..." and the Andrew Sisters' "Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me" (this last one is acceptable to be singing while cleaning alone). Then, when thinking of Jake I often get this in my mind- "If I had a penny and you didn't have one, I'd buy a stick of gum.... Sharing Caring, everybody's sharing caring, that's the thing to do." Kristen congers up "Willaby Wallaby Woo, an elephant sat on you, Willaby wallaby wee, an elephant sat on me, willaby wallaby wisten, an elephant sat on Kristen..." Kelli get's "K-K-K-Kelli, beautiful Kelli, you're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore..." and Amy, I'm sorry to say only gets "Amy Amy bo-bamy, bananana fo-famy, me my mo mamy... Amy." Now the scary thing is that that is not all. sometimes, at inexplicable moments, I might start singing in my mind, "I'm Did, I'm Didn't..." "In the land of Obey!" "I'd rather have a rock in my shoe than have, a whiny child.. uh huh huh huh huh" "Different, diff-er-ent." (this last one includes images of you with a fish costume)

Thanks a lot.

"If I had a stick of gum and you didn't have one, I'd break it right in two, give half of it to you." and "If I had a penny and you hadn't any, I'd buy a candy stick and let you have a lick." and the sharing caring verses.
