Thought of the day

[terrie]

There was a song we used to sing back when I did Brownies (low level of girl scouts, for those non-US types). The lyrics are:

I've got something in my pocket,
That belongs across my face,
I keep it very close at hand,
In a most convenient place.
I'm sure you couldn't guess it,
If you guessed a long long while.
So I'll take it out and put it on,
It's a great big brownie smile.

It recently occurred to me that, in a post "Heath-Ledger-as-the-Joker" world, there's something really creepy about that song.

Thank you for further corrupting my childhood. :P

Seriously, it doesn't pay to think too hard about a lot of the stuff from Brownies.... :)

You're quite welcome. This is why I share these things. ;)

No, you share these things in the fervent hope that you can get it stuck in someone else's head. Which you also succeeded in!

In revenge, I shall now remind you of... The Bumblebee Song.

I am STILL bothered by the make new friends song. Which one is silver? Which one is gold? WHY WON'T YOU TELL ME!

I was always bothered by that song because gold is worth much more than silver.
