“Drive slowly daddy now, then in the evening we will play again. Drive slowly daddy, I will stay here waiting for you.”
Mummi sang this song to me and I cried, just like Mummy did when she was little. She used to cry when her older sister sang a song about a sick baby bear.
Who the hell makes up these songs and stamps them, Suitable for children. No wonder Millennials are such emotionally unstable messes.
Daddy drives like an old woman but isn't driving today as he is on a train and I am a bit jealous, I like trains. I like cars a lot too and trucks as well as dinosaurs. I know dinosaurs don't really belong in that group of vehicles but dinosaurs are awesome, so they deserve to be mentioned.
In the morning it was an early start for everyone but Daddy was the first one out of the house. I gave him a kiss at the door and then, another hug just in case. Stupid song...
Maybe that is the reason the songs are made, to make children sad and clingy so the parents get more hugs and kisses. Is there no end to the emotional manipulation?
Childhood is going to be an interesting ride if I am a mix of my parents. Daddy and Mummy are quite different emotionally and it seems that I am emotional on a case by case basis. When I have to I suck it up buttercup like when they take blood tests while I cry when I am told no second story before bed. Emotions are silly things, don't trust them.
There are of course some times when emotions are great like when something is really funny the things Mummy does to make me laugh. We laugh a lot together. Daddy makes me laugh too but has a different sense of humour. Mummy thinks I am much more like Daddy in my behaviour though which means I am really funny but, people just aren't smart enough to understand.
It is going to be a hard life to negotiate however, we must do the best we can with what we have to work with.

I think they make sad songs because sadness too is a part of life. It would seem like a lie to only let you listen to sad songs when you were older because you wouldn't know about them and I think they'd be just as hurtful then. Maybe even more...
I'm sure you'll have plenty of adventures in your life - be they by train or my dinosaurs ;)

sad songs are fine but singing about Daddy's potential death from speeding is a little morbid... :)

You catch on quickly and will go far! Hopefully by Dinosaur, that would be cool.

If I could, I'd go everywhere by dinosaur. I'd also make Daddy ride one and sing,
"Ride the dinosaur slowly Daddy now ..."
