Maeve and I started our 'mommy and me' swimming class on Monday at the Y. I wanted to get her used to a pool and swimming... and I thought it would be fun! The class description read something like this..'mom and baby will...learn to blow bubbles...learn to get in and out of the pool...float on back and stomach...etc...Nowhere in the description did it say 'Mom must know the lyrics to every children's song, or else, all the other mom's will look at you as if to say "Loser! how do you not know the words?? I mean, I just instinctively know the words...I knew the words before my baby was born..cause that's what good mother's do...you suck!!!" Okay, not really...no one said anything, but that's what my insecure little self heard (in my head). I would have been fine, I mean seriously, I was doing really well with..."head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes" that was easy, but without warning came "and eyes and ears and mouth and noes" or my version..."and blah, blah, cough, blah blah."
Needless to say, I have spent the last few days googling hundreds of songs. I will not be looking the fool at the next swimming/singing class...no freakin way!
