What big ears you have?

"Everyone falls down. Everyone crawls now. You cry if you want to. That's what we all do." These were the words I heard coming from the dining room from Jory.

What was he saying? Or what was he singing? It sounded vaguely familiar. Wait. Wait. I know those words. He's singing Martina McBride's Wrong Baby Wrong.



Come on now
Everyone falls down
Everyone crawls now and then
Then they get up again
You cry if you want to
That’s what we all do
But if you think you’ll never move on you’re wrong baby


Who knew he knew that song? We'd only seen the video a few times. I was amazed. And as we were walking through the mall, it happened again. He was singing to himself and I overheard a few lines. You've got to love the world/Be a friend and when you're down/You've gotta get up again .

Hmm, love the world- - be a friend? I knew those lyrics. I knew those words. Oh snap! My son was singing the words to the chase song in Scooby Doo. We were obviously watching way too much Scooby if he was singing the songs from the chase scenes. Not even the opening theme, but the chase song.

"You stole my happy/You made me cry..." My singing boy was at it again, but this time, though I was surprised he knew the song, I sang the end of the chorus with him. And I wanna uh-uh-uh-uh-uh undo it
. Yes, my handsome five-year-old boy was singing Carrie Underwood. I have to say he's got good taste in music.

What big ears he had indeed. Half the time, I thought he was in his own world in the car and wasn't listening to the music. But as the voice in theater says, "The audience is listening." My audience is not only listening, it's also retaining. I think it's time to learn a nice little dc talk song or album.
