As I was making my befuddled way into the bathroom this morning upon being awoken by my alarm, Madeleine came cheerfully bounding out of her bedroom to greet me.
MADELEINE: Mommy! I made up a new verse to "Down by the Bay!"
ME: Oh, yeah?
MADELEINE: (launching into song) Down by the baaaaaay, where the watermelons grooooow, back to my hooooome, I dare not gooooo, for if I dooooo, my mother will saaaaaay: Did you ever see a warthog being a FART-DOG, down by the bay!
ME: Uh...that's great.
MADELEINE: (brightly) I'm gonna go lounge around! (flouncing off back to her bedroom.)
Now, THAT is one heck of a morning greeting.
