Why do birds suddenly appear, every tiiiiiiime you are neeeear? Just like me they long to be close to yooou~ Just like me, they long to be, close to yooooou!
Yes, I am insane, thanks to Big Marv. Every year he buys the kids a Valentine. This year was no exception. The usual a valentine card and a tiny heart box of chocolates, which isn't too bad cause it only has three pieces and they don't like them and I get to eat them. This year there was a stuffed animal in the Wal-Mart bag. Not only a stuffed animal, but an ugly bearilla (bear/gorilla I can't really tell which one) hand puppet that sings "Close To You". I don't want to seem ungrateful, but I am.
My children are teenagers. The oldest-BIG Man- has autism. What does that have to do with this story? EVERYTHING! BIG Man likes to do things over and over and over. He just can't stop himself. So, I have been subjected to this bearilla singing that stupid song a bazillion times in a row. I found myself humming at work today. Stuck in my brain like a mouse on a glue trap...squeaking, and wiggling and clawing its way out of my brain to be shared with the unlucky within earshot. Then, my co-worker started singing along. A duet.We had a good giggle about the whole thing and kept on singing. Went to lunch today and got a goofy grin from a dude in big sunglasses. I wondered if I had a booger hanging out of my nose or if there was something wrong with him, but then realized that I had been singing the song aloud. Tonight, I'm sitting here typing on my laptop, singing along to Bearilla and the BIG Man.
Will it ever end?
