Tutti-Fruiti musikahan


music is FUN.♬♫🎝

last night, we had a spontaneous game - sing a song about fruits!

i started with Mulan's 🟠"Loquat me I will never pass for a perfect bride Or a perfect daughter... Can it be..." HAHAHA. #BomJokes.

M was quick to sing Ryan Cayabyab's/Smokey Mountain's "The Coconut Nut".  Very good, shobe.

Z clued in with the question what's that watermelon song, M? And M started singing 🍉"Watermelon sugar high"... I asked if it's by Dua Lipa (trying to stay relevant). To which she said so matter-of-factly, "No! Harry Styles." Ah. me stuck in the 80s.

papa?  "No idea," he said. "Apples, pear, peach... Hmm, peach!" Then he played Ai Otsuka's Peach from "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e" 🍑 🍑 🍑 ayieee, kilig.  T3 was hopping up and down, dancing to this tune. 

Z asked if there's a song about Jesus about apple of His eyes? 🍏 Hmmm. I was sure there's quite a few, but nothing came to mind yet.

Z clued in again.. about some cherry song 🌸...This one i was pretty confident. High-pitched, i sang "Cheeeeee-rry! Cherry, baby!..." and they looked at me blankly 🙄 (only to realize today that it was actually "Sherry" 🍷 from Four Seasons. LOL. 60s. I should start playin dad and mom's fave 60s over at Spotify). 

M started Googling and said, oh there's a strawberry fields song 🍓...and so I played from YouTube for them Beatles' Strawberry Fields forevah. That started a series of questions from the girls about the Beatles ("Who's still alive?" etc).

just a short-lived game, to flow with the kids short attention span.⏰ we should have a burst sequel of this next time, hopefully with a better repertoire.😛

how i met Nancy Drew

It was my sister who introduced me to Nancy Drew and her posse, Bess and George. Back in 4th grade, from a book she brought home from the school library.  Erm, at least that's how I remember it. One Nancy Drew thing stands out in my memory though. The title "The Secret of the Old Clock".  I vividly remember how the book looked, hard-bound, yellow spine, thick pages. The picture in the front cover showed Nancy, alone, crouched on the grass in the quiet woods at night, opening that old clock and looking so, well, so secretive about it!  I recall how i felt then, seeing that picture, there is a thrill, like you were on the verge of discovery of a very precious secret!   Thus, i got hooked in a much enjoyable way.  I had graduated from fairy tales, fables and legends and had moved into mystery. It was one mystery solved after another! A different kind of adventure! How about you?  Were you, or are you an avid Nancy Drew fan? What was your 1st mys...
