Benji, precocious as always, has moved past his Elmo and Curious George stages and is now into, of all things, "Schoolhouse Rock." His major focus right now is the 11 songs that constitute "Multiplication Rock," since who doesn't love bigger and bigger numbers, huh? (Alas, he has not yet learned his multiplication tables from "Multiplication Rock," although he will happily tell us that "8 is double 4.")
Benji's current favorite song from "SR" is "Ready or Not, Here I Come," one of the four or so "SR"s I remember from my childhood:
However, my favorite — and one of Kim's favorites as well — deals with the very important subject of adverbs:
And while we're on a '70s educational programming kick, here's my favorite "Sesame Street" song from that era, mostly because of the awesome mixed meter:
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
