(I did say long ago!) Now that the kids are older, we get books on tape for long trips. Sometimes it's hard to decide on something appropriate for 16 and also for 8, but usually all are happy to be entertained while we drive.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05655321325607087357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671828190923092550.post-12291499374092258492007-06-25T09:58:00.000+00:002007-06-25T09:58:00.000+00:00Hmmm now that's a new thought!

They're both dead now but their stuff is very funny still, suitable for all ages and very singable.

My baby girl loves the "sings the times tables" cd which she insists on (she is four) and I try to insist on nursery tunes instead but she is having none of it. It makes me sound so very pushy. I don't like her knowing her times tables at all - particularly not so young. Why does she take after her super brainey daddy so effortlessly?dulwichmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17106294077068237863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671828190923092550.post-87874693007067356792007-06-24T20:34:00.000+00:002007-06-24T20:34:00.000+00:00Yes, Mary Alice.

I heard my daughter singing in the back of the mini van the other day…”ohh ohhh when I touch myself” She is 13, but still retains a amount of charming naiveté. I asked her point blank if she knew what she was singing about. She did not. So I took the liberty to explain and asked if she wanted her grandparents to hear her singing on the topic. I don’t think she will be singing it again. She turned several interesting shades of red.Mary Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923591889426758103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671828190923092550.post-77912553934116666292007-06-23T21:55:00.000+00:002007-06-23T21:55:00.000+00:00Thanks Laurie.
