Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow.

You guys remember that song, right?  If not, here's the video (a re-mix).  You have to wait until about halfway through to hear the chorus.

If you do know this song I'd advise against teaching the chorus to your kids, who just might sing it to you all the time, sometimes substituting their own nursing term for "bosom."  I've been hearing "everbody needs a mi-mi for a pillow" frequently these days.  It's just a little too catchy.

Another recent conversation:

Me:  So, if you want to be good at something you have to practice.

Son:  Yeah. Like if I want to be a good drummer, I have to practice the drums.  And if you want to be a good, um, breastfeeding girl, you have to practice that.

I love this song and I made a mobile phone ringtone out of the chorus. Since we hear it every time my phone rings, my son sings it A LOT!

Awesome! That must get you some great looks when it rings.

LOL. I can just imagine my kids singing their hearts out!
