Even when the words make sense, there are some people (seems like women mostly) who like to speak in a high pitch shriek that I swear dogs howl to. We actually had to change my little sister's doctor because she couldn't seem to grasp that the kid (now 11) could hold a conversation. And there's only so much "and how is this wittle one doing today" a person can take. Corn syrup...Ack! I could write a rant, but I think I'll just jump up and down instead.

We sang classics, but as she got older, we played with the words -- the wheels on the bus they all fall off, all fall off, all fall off -- once she was old enough to realize that we weren't singing exactly the same song every time. We did it just for the heck of it -- also, because the basic song was getting so very old -- but she liked it. So I think your thoughts on that are exactly right.
