For my Mom :-)

Growing up, we had an Anne Murray children's record (yes, record!) called "There's a Hippo in my Tub" that we listened to alot. I found the CD at the library, so now my boys are listening to it, and wow! does it bring back memories. This song especially reminds me of my mom. She's always been a big advocate of keeping your chin up and having a positive outlook. She also loves to sing and dance - I have so many memories of her singing to and with us! Now that I have children of my own, this song has even more meaning to me. So, mom, I don't know if you'll see this... but here's a little something to make you smile :-)



On a funny note, one of the other songs on the album is called "Teddy Bear's Picnic" - a silly song about Teddy Bears picnicing in the woods, and what you might see if you happened upon them. One of the lines in the chorus says "See them, catch them, unawares..." and I always thought it said "underwears". I grew up with images of Teddy Bears throwing and catching underwear at a picnic in the woods! And to be sure, when we came upon that song on the CD with the boys... they said "Mom! They're having a picnic in their underwear!"
