I can always count on Y's providing musical entertainment while during Sunday morning housekeeping, if not eager cleaning assistance...well, now she is helping sort and put away videos, to the tune of...launching cleanly from one to the next..."Good morning, Good morning, let's sing with Uncle Moishy"...to "Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana my home sweet home..." (this one really at the top of her lungs)...to "Big Yellow Taxi" to the title song to "Oklahoma" to the theme song to her school's middot program and, without missing a beat or batting an eyelash (after all she doesn't understand what the song means---"101 kinds of fun, that's my little honey-bun, get a load of my huuuuuuuny-bun..." (Although she just commented, "Mom, the man was wearing coconut breasts!" and giggled.
Yes, it's a steady diet of of Mom's folk music, appropriate yeshivish music and my mother's supply of Fifties musicals around here.

Interesting. We have lots inter-planetary space travel over here in our house. And some "Indian Teepee" game (there's a song that goes with that one). For a while, the hit song was "Family of the sun, family of the sun" (I think it's the tune of the Farmer in the Dell) ...written by Morah Emily, when the preparation for the Primer planet play was at its height.
None of this helps me clean my house, however.
