Caroline approached me this morning holding two pieces of toy fruit. She asked that we sing songs about the fruit. She gave me the banana, and she held the apple. I asked her to start. She agreed and looked up for about 3 seconds while she composed the song in her head. Then she straightened her dress and began.
"Apples are reh-eeeeh-ed and they have stemmmmmms on top... And you peel 'em [clap] if you want to, and there are see-eeee-eeeeeeds insiiiiide! So sweet and so juiiiicy! [returns to normal voice] Now it's your turn, Mama. Sing about the banana like you mean it."

ABOUT CAROLINE
She's freshly 7. She's a Gemini. She likes to eat tomatoes and draw cats when she is not sharing her wisdom. Yes, this is real. No, this is not exaggerated. Sometimes I wish it was.
Several have asked, so I will answer. This site is called Kazooisms because her nickname is "The Kazoo."
You can email us at kazooisms @ gmail . com (without the pesky spaces, of course).

So....did you sing about the banana like you meant it? haha
I LOVE reading your blog!!! Thank you (and your little Kazoo, of course!) for weekly smiles and laughs. My first baby is due in a week and your blog has inspired me to always try to remember to document what our kids say. :-)
