I have been charged with a task by my son.
As I was settling in to give him his evening songs, he piped, "I want a wombat song."
... "Well, babe, I don't know a wombat song. What else d'you feel like?"
"A Wombat song!"
... "I don't know enough about wombats to make up a good song, right now."
"Let's look it up!"
(I love my boy.) "In the morning, kiddio. First thing when you wake up, we'll look up wombats."
"They live in caves!"
"We'll look 'em up."
"And see babies?"
"Don't know if wikipedia has pictures of baby wombats, but I'm sure they're somewhere on the web. So yes, love. Tomorrow morning, we will look up wombats, and I will have a wombat song ready for you tomorrow night."
"YAY!!! A rock 'n' roll wombat song!!!"
"May be asking more than your oul mom's got, but I'll try."
"YAY!!!!"
"You got it. So what do you want to hear?"
"Something I've never heard before. And then something I HAVE heard before. And then something I HAVEN'T heard."
"No sweat."
So.
Tonight's lullabies brought to you by Bob Dylan, the Indigo Girls (their versions of "Tangled Up in Blue" and "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright"), and Melissa Etheridge ("Change").
Tomorrow?
