What'sa Quarius Nana?

Joy was helping me yesterday clean up from the Easter festivities. She loves to sing. And does it all the time.
She makes up songs or sings real songs. And it always amazes me how quickly she picks up a song and sings ON KEY and LOUD!

While singing something (I wasn't paying attention to what the tune was) she stopped and asked me what a "quarius" was. HUH? "quarius" like in the song. . ."when the moon is in the 7th house". oh oh oh. that is Aquarius!

So I told her Aquarius is a man pouring water out of a jug. Then I took her to the computer and we did a Youtube search and I found the 5th Dimension version of the song. She said she had never seen it. So I was trying to figure out how she knew the song.

She asked me if I know the movie where the guy goes "No No No " (while shaking her head back and forth) when they are going to cut his hair. Again I didn't understand what she was asking me. But on the Youtube page along the side are those clips and she pointed to one of them and said, "That one".




OOOOHHHHHHH

She has been watching HAIR the musical.


I had to crack up. When I was in 6th grade I was in the school choir. At our spring concert we sang Aquarius & Let the Sun Shine. The year was 1969 so the song was very popular. Certain parents had a Kaniption (fit) because the song was about unholy worship (zodiac). And now my 5 year old granddaughter sings it and not only that. . . .watches the movie it was made famous in, another very controvertial performance.


The world is different.


Yes that is Tommy Lee Jones in a musical. BWAHHHHH

It happens in every family

Take 1 six year old (who should know better) add 1 four year old (who should also know better) then add 1 two year old (who doesn't know better but comes up with the idea) and leave alone in a room. Place 1 pair of safety scissors within reach aaannnndddd. . . .what do you get? A group of kids that look like they either suffer from Mange, or have had a bout of Chemo recently. Yes, it happened under the watch of the soon to be EX daycare provider. And get this. . . She even cut Joy's hair more to "trim it up" after the incident. I am so mad at her. You should leave the hair alone till the mommy can see first hand the damage and have a one on one with the child to discuss what has happened. Now when you ask Joy who cut her hair she says Kentucky, Korban and Miss Heather.

Last year she had a scar on her forehead for her 2nd birthday pictures. This year on her 3rd birthday she will have a reverse Mohawk.She has gone from this. . . .

To this.. . . .
So now we have Kentucky who won't let me take pictures of him because he knows he looks stupid (his word) with a chunk of his hair missing from the front. Korban is embarrassed also and even though he had a buzz cut just weeks ago, he now has polkadot places missing all over his head. And Joy. . .Poor Joy. . . gone are the soft blonde curls. Sigh. This will go down in the Family lore.
