And then we had the fun of moving to Scotland and easily picking up the words and having a baby. It made an excellent walking-the-baby song. Of course, along with "Sha Shtil," and a few murder ballads and a 'dead baby' song or two. |

Likely not true, but it's a pleasing idea. |

It also reminds me why I was always covered in grazes and bandages on childhood photos |
