Sometimes when I'm playing the guitar, I'll make up verses to "You Are My Sunshine" about each one of my children.

mph, I hope you don't sing them in the same song as the codependent slightly stalkerish verses, but just sing the chorus with them...

(I've been known to alter the "Caillou" theme song with verses about my daughters. *hangs head* )

My dad created tunes for all of his children when they were born I still know mine and I think all my siblings songs,
Tiny Taylor tender one Tiny Taylor lots of fun Tiny Taylor soft and true Tiny Taylor we love you.

We all had pet names but mine was probably the only one that DID NOT stick. "Little TD." When I grew taller then my dad I guess it just didnt make any sense.
Dan, thats pretty cute, but you accept the risks of a catchy tune the moment your create one.

I told him that songs don't always mean what they literally say. It's called "artistic license", and that the song that I sang really meant was that I love them all very much.

That's a wonderful answer. Have I ever told you what a good parent I think you are, and how much I appreciate your example and advice (and bev's?)

Not that I recall. Thank you.

Amanecer, I love it, too. I wasn't dissing. But I don't sing the verses to my kids-- just the chorus. And I always kinda crack up when the baby swing plays it because it plays a verse AND chorus and that gets me started on the whole song.
I save the verse-singing for our old-timey/bluegrass get-togethers.
