Sesame Street taught me more than public education

As I was working with Chase the other night reading, he got hung up on a word that started with the letter 'W'.  I asked him what sound a W makes, and he was stumped.  So, I told him it made a "Wha" sound and then imediatly went into a flashback.  (Insert wavy lines here)  I remembered a song from the old school Sesame Street about the letter W that stared everyone's favorite paperclip collector, Bert.  I sang, Chase plugged his ears, and then I thought, 'Dude - I bet it is on YouTube!!"  Sure enough - there is was - and here it is!!  (Now if they had only taught me how to spell...)

Oooie, Gooie Luv Songs

Time to let my sensitive side out for a few and pass along one of my new favorite lovie songs.  Usually the best ones are the ones that make me think of my sweetie, Jean, and they stick with me just like she does.  She is the best.


So, I present Ingrid Michaelson with "The Way I Am".  (Note:  I only condone the audio version of this song, as the video contains many, many clowns which is disturbing and may cause nightmares and insomnia.)
