Row, row, row your boat...


Has anyone really realised what we're teaching our kids, here?

"Row, row row your boat gently down the stream...
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream"

I beg to differ...
How many other Buddhist songs are part of our cultural zeitgeist?

I'll have to wait a while before I can explain the stupidity of this song to Avalon. And in the meantime, I might just steer clear from singing it to her.

Nicole, I'm either really thick, or sleep-deprived, but I don't get this song... please explain?? I hope Willow's well on the road to recovery. Thinking of you. xxx
