Liv . . .

Scene:  In the car, heading to pick up the kids from school. Outside the car, a few black crows in the grass.

Liv:  Are those birds mad or happy?

Me: Oh, well...hmmmm...(my standard opening (-:), birds, liv, have very small brains and I don't think they necessarily feel happy, mad or even sad."

Liv:  Yeah, but...are they mad or happy?

Me: Happy...

Interesting to me how a three year old has already caught on to crows being portrayed as not nice characters. 

OK, while I'm ruminating on interesting observations (because it's 10:11p.m. and I'm awaiting the arrival of our l.a.t.e. tai food dinner...SP painted the other largest set of window panes today and this food was the end treat), I also find it interesting how young, young kids pick up the sing-songy tease sound that goes to, "nyah-nyah, nyahnyah, nyah" (do, la, re, do, la if you start on middle C...want me to get all music theory on you?...then it's "me" (not mi as in do, re, mi...but "me" pronounced "may" as in a flated "mi"), so it's me, do, fa, me, do if you consider it correctly from the a minor perspective. (this is why I get the big bucks folks!). Anyway, even the youngest of kids can sing that teasing tune, even the kids/people that think they're "tone deaf." I was taught in music ed that no one is actually tone deaf by the way.  Just haven't learned how to match pitch.  

That'll be that then.
