After almost 8 years of marriage, it's funny to learn new things about each other.
Erin has a jumpy frog thing that we keep in our bedroom. It's like an exersaucer, but she can jump in it instead of rock. It plays a couple of tunes and it ribbits. All in all, it's very cute and she loves it. One of the songs it plays is "Pop Goes the Weasel".
Erin was in it the other night when we were both getting ready to go out to dinner. We had her sitting in Froggy in the middle of our bedroom. We were passing from the bedroom to bathroom and moving around a lot. She hit the little thing and made it start playing Pop Goes the Weasel. We both started singing it to her at the same time and we have VERY different versions of Pop Goes the Weasel.
Tommy then got on-line to see what the "real" lyrics were. (This is what he told me he was doing, but I know him. He was actually attempting to see if "his" version was more right then mine!) Turns out there are about a half dozen versions and neither one of the ones we learned as kids was on there. There were bits and pieces of both versions. I plan on making Erin bi-lyrical, meaning we'll teach her the right way to sing songs and then we'll teach her Daddy's way too!
