How to sing Beauty and the Beast with a twist

Gray Cee on Jan-14-2008

One night the babe and I were doing one of our many role-playing games. This time we were cows. I was the mommy cow and of course, she was the baby. We were on our fours and walking er, crawling around the living room saying, “mooo, mooo!”

She immensely enjoyed it and let me promise we’d do it again.

After that fun game, we went to brush our teeth, change into our pajamas, took books to read for the night and climbed to bed. The babe told me, “Mom, can you sing Beauty and the Beast first?” I said, ok and I went, “Tale as old as time….”

“No, not like that!”, she interrupted.  I said, “You said Beauty and the Beast, right?”

“Yeah, but you’re a mommy cow so it should be moo moo moo moo moo…”

….and I thought our cow game was over!
