Sympathy in the world today

yesterday, we went with Sophia to the mall. children's day falls this year on tuesday, but the sctivities for kids are in the weekend.

they had this children's flee market. kids and their parents sell their old stuff. its educational for the kids, and i never miss a chance to buy tons of toys for my girl.

this time the star of the show was a song book. it has songs that it plays and words and pictures.

we took the thing home and my baby got very excited, dancing with the songs.

until we got to song no.16.

song no. 16 is a lively tune about chicks tweeting for their mommy to feed them.

my baby heard that and she started crying!!!

at first i did not understand, what was the matter. but then i noticed that though the chicks are chirping sway, mommy never actually comes. i guess that item is not the focus. but my baby was so SYMPATHETIC to these hungry chicks the she got upset.

i hurridly changed the song to another one. but she insisted we deal with the unattended chick situation, pushing no.16 again and again.

i explained that birds are like that , and mommy is not neglectful. in fact , just the day before we were in the park and saw the birds picking at crumbs, and carying the morsals up the trees.

after we calmed things down, i tried another song. onestly, the songs on the book were mostly alien to me.

except for 'London bridge' , which is what i got..

sophia started crying again.

and why?

well, the bridge is FALLING DOWN!!!
