For the past several hours my children have been annoying each other, and anyone in earshot. We just returned home from listening to a rock and roll band…at a bar…… (vying for mom of the year award). I can see the influence has been strong on my children. Kosmo my five year old loves live music and has taken to making up his own songs. His own very long songs.
His Brother , Ogden ( age 7) hates them. So a few hours ago Kosmo made up this song. No joke the title of which is “Baby Donkey Love “
Baby Donkey Love is a name that horrifies and fascinates me. It’s just so very very wrong. So inappropriate that facebook removed this link when those words were in the title…normally I am not a fan of censorship, but in this case..kudos facebook. Kosmo’s hit single is so funny specifically because he doesn’t know why it’s funny. We all laughed when we heard it, and all for different reasons…Ahhhh innocence.
So Kosmo has been singing Baby Donkey Love, over and over and over again. Ogden has locked himself in the bedroom. I am laughing because there is a dance move involving air maracas.
The lyrics are curiously about a donkey taking a bath and washing its hands. As far as I know, it is the first of its kind. I drew the above mock up of his album cover , should we ever decide to record. Check out The Video here…Spoiler alert…you can not get those 54 seconds back…so don’t ask.
I have drawn the conclusion that one of the best things about having kids, is finding a way to archive their ideas so that you can bring them up when they are older and trying to impress a prom date…We are not there yet, but I just know I am going to have so much fun when the time comes.
