down to"hell"...
the other night lucy requested a new song for bedtime..."go down to hell". of course, i initially laughed and said what? i tried and tried to figure out what in the world she was talking about or where she had heard it, but in the end settled on the more recognizable song..."i am a child of god" (ya know to get those bad words out of her mind). well, she kept asking for it the next few nights, and i finally got a chance to ask peder what in the world he thought she was talking about. it appears that on saturdays when i'm at work, peder drives hannah to her art class and goes up and down the freeway ramps and sings..."the grand old duke of york...he had 10,000 men...he marched them up the hill and then he marched them down again". apparently lucy heard... "the grand old duke of york went down to "hell". if that's not selective hearing i do not know what is. so watch out people, next time you sing a song to your kid....enunciate.

Hahaha!! That is hilarious! A few years ago my niece went through a phase where she has different names. And she only answered to those names, so you had to use them to get her attention. My two favorites were Forky and Assie. You can guess how she pronounced the last one!
That is awesome because when she did that to me a bit ago I just assumed I heard her wrong. I then also sang I am a child of god instead to move the conversation along.
