My daughter: the mistress of trivia


So over the last few days I've been making a DVD for Lily's kindergarten class. I told Lil's teacher that I could make one and just to have parents give me their photos and I would put it together and make a bunch of copies for everybody.


So Lily and I spent a few hours organizing all of the pictures by kid or by activity and making slideshows. She picked out songs and transitions between the pictures. DW will be (un)happy to know that she picked a White Stripes song - and it fits perfectly - check out their video for it here. A Ramones song (Blitzkrieg Bop for Halloween - makes sense to me) and some tunes from the Cars soundtrack and we have a pretty nice looking and sounding dvd.


Today Lily, Kim and Jake were decorating the CD/DVD sleeves before we pass them out to everybody and we had the dvd going in the background, the music was playing, and the slideshows were going by. Jake heard one song where they say "humuhumunukunukuapua‘a" and then he asked: "What song is this?"


Me: "Little Grass Shack by Leon Redbone" and quickly adding "Oh, well, now it's somebody else - there's two people singing...now it's Ringo...he actually sings another song that you guys know...he sings Yellow Submarine."


Lily: "Ringo was in the Beatles?"


Brad: *


Brad: "Um. Yeah"


Parents look at each other. Chip off the old block apparently.
