A Little Thing

Sammy and I were doing a piano lesson. When we were done, as usual, we just fooled around on the keyboard. Sammy made up her own version of Twinkle Twinkle which ranged over two octaves instead of one. MiddleC, C-octave-down, MiddleG, G-octave-down, etc. I was impressed! I asked if I could play the song she wrote and she said yes. It was fun to play that way and I told her so. I told her that I love to take songs I know on the piano and make them fancier. I said, “I love to take a simple song and embellish it.” Sammy started giggling uncontrollably. “You almost said bullshit!”

She is creative in many different ways.

    Natalie has been practicing barnyard animal sounds. This morning, I failed to locate something in the refrigerator and swore aloud. Noodles must have thought I was clucking like a chicken, because she imitated me: “buck-buck-buck-buck!!” (which was not what I said.)

    I think it is hilarious that you swear like that for food-related snafus. (BTW, we still swear normally in front of Sam and we continue to have no problems with her language. She curses on occasion, usually when she’s trying to make me laugh.)
