Saturday Morning
Jun 20th, 2009 by Bethany
Degen and Maggie are dressed and fed, Heidi is dressed and fed and napping, Colin is at an Elder’s Quorum service project (dressed, hopefully fed, and surely not napping). The kids are baking me a “cake” in their pretend kitchen while I’m being a nerd in my pjs and watching an old John Bytheway Education Week speech. I hereby relinquish any rights I had to complain about not having time to shower and dress this morning (future mornings excepted). My, sitting around is so luxurious. Any minute now I’m going to think of all the things I need to get done today.
Ha! Maggie is singing Electric Light Orchestra’s “Oh Oh It’s Magic” while she cooks. I think that song is on one of the latest F00s (if you don’t know what our F00 CDs are, check Colin’s website on the topic here). Maggie is a singer, no doubt about it. She composes songs whenever and where ever she is, and about whatever she wants. And she likes to ask us to sing along, and gets upset if we don’t sing the right lyrics (even when she’s making them up as we go along). Oh, to be two and have everyone tolerate your whims! Now Degen’s in on the singing action, debating with Maggie about whether “Row Row Row Your Boat” or “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” is the song to sing at the moment, as they drop the red cord of my previous post down the back of the couch in true preschooler fishing style.
You’re actually thinking of Pilot’s “Magic.” The 70s band Pilot was just such a one-hit wonder–two hits depending on how you count it, and 10 if you count the Bay City Rollers–that their songs get attributed to everyone.
