The Last Song Syndrome

I hate L.S.S. whenever it happened to me in unexpected places and situations. L.S.S. stands for Last Song Syndrome. It simply means to listen to music before going out of the house, and having the last song you hear before leaving stick in your head all through your journey, and beyond. Is usually accompanied by subconscious humming. This syndrome is particularly dangerous when the song happens to be the most pathetic, crappy, albeit catchy song ever. (from urban dictionary)

Yesterday morning, My daughter started singing this song from a TV commercial. And it was a catchy but very lousy type of song. She started singing it when she saw the ad on TV and she sang along. The Ad was already finished but she kept singing the song.

And what happened next? I started singing too, And i kept singing the whole morning. And the most embarrassing happened when i went to the bank, and while waiting for my turn i started singing it. And because the TV ad was popular. A lot of people were familiar to that song. And to my stupidity i even sang at least two lines. Oh My! I heard people were laughing at my back. and The bank tellers too. So embarrassing!

So after what happened, I started to sing a nice song in my head. To remove the unwanted one. I never thought of singing a new song earlier because i was just so busy. Oh what a day!

Btw, That's my daughter when she was 2.

mother and daughter, getting into each other's nerves.

These past few months, My daughter is starting get into my nerves, but she has her own way to cool me down. She always asked silly questions like. Why do we need to eat vegetables, i have my vitamins. Why is the rain water? why not juice or milk? water is boring. Why is God in the clouds? What is he hiding for? Why can't we have TV with only commercials on it? (oh dear!)

There were days that i just ran out of answers and i just asked her to ask her father.There is just one question though, that i hope she wouldn't ask. It's not that I'm afraid. It's just that, I don't know how am i going to explain such thing.

Yesterday, she went home with "i want to know something" look. She look so excited, as though she's gonna ask when can she wear my shoes?!. ( she love's shoes by the way. she said my shoes almost fit her.)

"Mom. my classmate told me that babies came from other planets and my other classmate said that if you want to have one you have to swallow a piece of pebble from God". And then, i suddenly stopped from what I'm doing. I was hoping that she'll not pop the "I'm not ready to answer that" question.

She continued " I told them that babies, come from my mommies, and Mikaella agreed with me but the rest are still having their own thoughts. Mom, How did you get Eouri(his baby brother) inside your tummy?

Oh, my! ( i pretended that I'm not affected to what she just asked me)I remember what my friend used to tell me " Try not to lie to your children, SO they'll believe you as they grow old. OK so i turn my face to her and said, when mommies and daddies love each other, God give them children as a gift. (it wasn't hard as i thought, i felt relieved, wahoo!!) but then she replied. "I know that mom Aunt May already told me that. But how do you get them inside that tummy?" (pointing to my tummy), Then my husband arrived with a box of donuts,(thanks God it's his day off) and my daughter ran outside the kitchen and forgot everything she asked.

I maybe saved by the bell, but the next time she'll remembers it, I'll make sure I'm ready.
