    You're doing some late night coding and singing, with passion, the songs that your 2 year old loves. Examples include the "I love you song", "incy wincy spider", "Old McDonald had a farm" and a whole slew of Arabic songs for kids. I caught myself when I had already sung most of them.

    I have an uncle who, when I was a little older than your son, would sing 'corrupted' versions of nursery rhymes to me. My mother used to scold him but I loved them. The only one I can remember is his version of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" Mary had a little lamb The butcher chopped it dead And now that lamb it goes to school Between two chunks of bread. I used to laugh my little cotton socks off. He was crap at the Arabic ones though. ;P

      How did you cope when your kids were still that young?

        I do that too. Mustapha, my very own corrupted Arabic poet is Abu-3ala2 il-Ma3ar. Note: there's no i at the end.

          :laugh: I sing a similar one, incidentally also "Mary had a little lamb", to Sam. Only its bastardized with Arabic words which amount to him eating the lamb. He just laughs and laughs :-D

            I played them heavy metal. Hannah used to love dancing to Ozzy. She prefers Iron Maiden nowadays, but Ozzy still gets a look in. I confess to being caught singing the odd wiggles song, tho.

                Yeah, there was talk of them coming to Jordan and if they did, I would have had to take Sam, my only consolation is seeing his smile though :) Sam LOVES listening to Aerosmith and Judas Priest but cannot stand Manson. I can't play any musical instruments other than the musical triangle which is sad.

                      The one I knew went like this: "Happy Birthday to you, I went to the zoo, I saw a fat monkey, exactly like you!" But I prefer your version! :-D

                                    At one point, when my daughter was a toddler, it required four repetitions of Itsy-Bitsy Spider and four of The Barney Song (both verses) before she would go to bed. I remember being so tired I couldn't see straight, and singing those over and over again. She leaves for college in less than a week. God, I miss that :((.

                                      I sympathize with ya...it's a great time in life. But there will be other memories to be made as good with the young lady that she has grown into. Good luck, Mike

                                        You're doing some late night coding and singing, with passion, the songs that your 2 year old loves. Examples include the "I love you song", "incy wincy spider", "Old McDonald had a farm" and a whole slew of Arabic songs for kids. I caught myself when I had already sung most of them.

                                        You sing "incy wincy spider" as you code?
