If you hang around our family long enough you’ll eventually hear one of our “made-up” tunes. Mostly they are melodies we know with our own lyrics replacing the originals. A favorite with the kids is a personalized version of the Elmo’s World theme song. Well today, JBelle got in on the fun and started making up lyrics for the E’sW song for me:
La-la La-la, La-la La-la
Mommy’s world
La-la La-la, La-la La-la
Mommy’s world
Mommy likes Daddy, her coffee too.
That’s Mommy’s world!!
(Then she added a second verse.)
La-la La-la, La-la La-la
Mommy’s world
La-la La-la, La-la La-la
Mommy’s world
Mommy likes coffee, her blog too.
That’s Mommy’s world!!
(Scary how perceptive children can be, huh?)
Personally, had I been making up the lyrics it would have gone something like this:
La-la La-la, La-la La-la
Mommy’s world
La-la La-la, La-la La-la
Mommy’s world
Mommy loves Daddy, her sweet children too.
That’s Mommy’s world!!
La-la La-la, La-la La-la
Mommy’s world
La-la La-la, La-la La-la
Mommy’s world
Mommy cooks supper & cleans it up, too.
That’s Mommy’s world!!
La-la La-la, La-la La-la
Mommy’s world
La-la La-la, La-la La-la
Mommy’s world
Mommy does laundry, & folds it, too.
That’s Mommy’s world!!
La-la La-la, La-la La-la
Mommy’s world
La-la La-la, La-la La-la
Mommy’s world
Mommy loves Daddy, her sweet children too.
That’s Mommy’s world!!
(One more time)
THAAAAAT’S MOM-MY’S WOOORRRLLLDDD!!!!
That made me smile
How cute is that!! She’s got a promising song writing career if she keeps going.
When I was a little girl, I was asked “What do Mommy’s do?” and I answered, “they sit around at the computer typing all day.” Of course my mom did laundry, cooked dinner, and loved us. But I only saw the typing. hahaha. The teacher went straightway and told my mom what I’d said–I think she was really concerned (weird, right?) and it’s been a family joke ever since.

So do you like COFFEE? Cute, such precious memories you will have (and blackmail material for when she is older)
I LOVE it!
I think my world is very similar, even though I’m a working mom. Laundry, the bane of my existence!
And I am happy to know that other families make up their own little ditties.
Elmo definitely has good songs.
Awesome! We make up songs too… sometimes they rhyme… sometimes they are to tunes we already know… sometimes it’s just a random account of what we are doing… we probably wouldn’t do much of this if others were around. lol
LOVED this post.
We were at Target last week and Josh was alone with Keira in the housewares aisle. They saw a coffee carafe, and she said, “Mom,” followed a moment later by, “Coffee.”
