Flash: PANIC!!!!

aiden_freeman has just successfully (with monitoring against falling) climbed the stairs from the 2nd to third story. Pretty much entirely by himself.

Evil Parent tricks

So, babies (I have discovered) learn the music they hear frequently in the car.

I am certain that aiden_freeman will have the lyrics to S.J. Tucker‘s Sirens down before he is 18 months.

So, to be subversive, I’ve decided to play fun music with complex lyrics. In order that he hopefully tries to learn them.

This is my short list so far. I’m looking for suggestions:

“It’s the End of the World as we Know It” – REM
“We Didn’t Start the Fire” – Billy Joel
“The Elements” – Tom Lehrer
“Lobachevsky” – Tom Lehrer
“Modern Major General” – Gilbert and Sullivan

I figure, something from Sondheim… not sure what.

Suggestions?

Some day… Someone will ask a teen-aged Aiden if he remembers who was president when he was born.

With luck he’ll answer, “Nope.”
