I forgot to tell you about the songs.
At dinner last night, we were talking with our mothers about the songs they sang to us as children. Kara's mom sang songs like "Jesus loves me" and something about beautiful-Kara-in-the-kitchen. Lovely songs. Genteel songs.
My mom sang more robust fare:
"Cecilia" You know this one? "...makin love in the afternoon with Cecilia, up in my bedroom..."
..and "Hail, hail, the gang's all here...what the hail do we care?"
...and "I wanna neck, I wanna neck, I wanna necklace made o' pearls.......and when the dam, dam, dam, dam, damage is done, and we've had our child, child, childish fun..."
It explains a lot, knowing what songs I learned in the cradle. Don't ya think?

Gee, and all I got was "I'm Pop Eye the sailor man..." and "I went to the animal fair....".
Mother was really not much of a singer, even neighbors would call and complain when she took a shower......
I got up to wash my face. When I come, another has taken my place.
You can't beat S&G. But then again our moms are sisters so that may explain some things!
