A timeless bedtime/bathtime scene.
This was actually preceded by another scene in which she was crying uncontrollably, and I tried singing Baa Baa Black Sheep, Row Row Row Your Boat, Five Little Ducks and Horsey Horsey to calm her down, to no avail. Then I had a moment of divine inspiration and started singing something which made her instantly flop in my lap, head back, still and calm: the theme from Star Wars. Anybody looking through the window at us would?ve been forgiven for thinking that I was singing Ave Maria.
Not that she?s seen Star Wars. The only time she?s heard any of the music was in Car Going Fast film. Which was a bit of a favourite last week. So me singing the theme reminded her (a totally different part of the theme, though, so she?s pretty smart to pick it up). Next thing I knew, she was sitting on the loo demanding Car Going Fast. Watch on Loo, Daddy.
What am I doing to my family?
(other than turning them into light entertainment for you?)
