We had, like most parents, made the crucial mistake of getting a few 'kid CDs' for driving around in the car and entertaining the child. I call it a mistake, because once you play a kid's CD, you are doomed to play it every time you get in the car with the kid. The one that Ella loved for a couple of years was a Fisher Price Little People CD we got on super discount at Costco. One of the first songs (I think the first, actually) is See, See My Playmate.
Here are the lyrics. I suspect you'll remember it when you see them, and will sing along as you read them. If you don't, count yourself lucky:
See, see my playmate,
Come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three
Climb up my apple tree
Slide down my rainbow
Into my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends
Forever evermore.
Anyway, while we were out and about one day, we were, of course, listening to this song, and I hear this from the back seat:
Ella: People can't slide down rainbows. Everyone knows only UNICORNS can slide down rainbows, mama.
