the cheese farmer

from the bathtub:
"mommy, sing the farmer song."
"what farmer song? old macdonald?"
"no! the farmer song. the cheese farmer song."
(have you figured it out yet? witness the huge leap in mommy intuition:)
"the farmer in the dell?"
"yes! yes! dat the one i tink about."
"ok, let's sing." (we sing) "the farmer in the dell, the farmer in the dell, hi ho the dairy-oh, the farmer in the dell."
then i continue: "the farmer takes a wife, the farmer takes a wife -"
"no! no, mommy! the farmer take," big, thoughtful pause, looking around the tub, "the bathroom!"
"ok. the farmer takes the bathroom, the farmer takes the bathroom - "
"and the potty."
"alright. the farmer takes the bathroom and the potty, the farmer takes -"
"and the great big ceiling."
"sweetheart, mommy's done for now." :)

for those of you interested in my daily news, sailor has a double ear and double eye infection. apparently the antibiotics didn't kick the last ear infection entirely, so it returned in force... i had to rush her to the doctor's during nap time, so no one got a nap today (including one very tired mommy). but now she's on super-strong antibiotics, so hopefully this one will take.
i really hope it works soon, because her eyes look awful. poor sweet baby.
