Scrambled Lyrics from a Scary Musical

If you haven't seen that oh-so-scary movie The Sound of Music recently, brush up on the lyrics of My Favorite Things and Do-Re-Mi before you read our latest meatball minutes.
***
The swimming pool sat empty in the twilight. Jeremy and I were cleaning up after an impromptu cook-out, and Ali and Jair took their boundless enthusiasm from the deck to the empty pool. They ran in circles, singing out to the neighborhood. (Oh, if only hot dogs and cookies gave me that kind of energy.) Jer and I stopped to listen to the words and heard this...
"When the dog bites, when the bee stings, these are a few of my favorite things!"
***
At the breakfast table, Ali stopped Do-Re-Mi mid-song to resolve an important issue: "Mommy, drink with jam and bread won't really turn us back to dough, will it?"

  1. Julie - that's hysterical! I love when Ali says the most valid and great questions that only a 4 year old would ask!
