A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to...

So I realized a couple of days ago that I haven't really shared much of the "entertaining" things that Kayla does. And then yesterday morning it happened...

I was sitting in the living room feeding John and trying to remotely get the twins ready for school. I sent Kayla to the bathroom (the reason now escapes me) and I was trying to keep an ear out for her to make sure that she stayed on task. Then I heard this little voice start singing, "Washed a lot plates in Memphis, Pumped a lit of pain down in New Orleans, But I never saw the good side of the city, Till I hitched a ride on the river boat queen. Big wheel keeps on turning Proud Mary keeps on burning. Rollin, rollin, rollin on the river. If you come down to the river, Betcha gonna find some people who live, You don't have to worry cause you got no money, People on the river are happy to give. Big wheel keeps on turnin Proud Mary keeps on burnin. Rollin, Rollin, Rollin on the river [this time complete with arm movements ala Tina Turner]."

When was the last time you saw a 3 and a half year old channeling the spirit of Tina Turner. Thanks Grandpop and Poppy for exposing our kids to such great cultural elements. She already identifies the Beatles when they are played over the PA at the mall. What next???
