Will you remember
the time
we went to dinner?
Just you and I.
Will you remember
the time
I lost my temper?
So will I.
I hope you remember
the time
we spent together
when you were 5 and 9.
I don't remember
what before was like
because it feels like forever
that you've been mine.

We Made A List
01:20
|

|
We made a list
we put it on the fridge
so we couldn't forget
Of all the things
we do every morning
like getting dressed and brushing teeth
The signs we make
and all the steps we take
so they know the rules to break

Secret Family
01:38
|

|
Meanwhile
waiting
for you
to find your shoes
takes forever.
I have
spent at
least five years
of my life
doing this.
Maybe I should
start a new life
with a secret family
of mostly grown kids
who have jobs and
would support me.
When we finally
get out
of the house
it's so nice.
I might
just keep
walking
and never return,
it's tempting.
But then I would
miss all the times
when we get home
and you sit down
to take your socks off
and you hand me
all the lint in-
between your toes
and you think that
I want it.
Don't know how we
started this game
but it's funny
and I'd miss it
if I never came back.

Love the way
you wake me up at 6am
everyday.
It's like you've got a
doggone rooster in your room.
Love the way
takes you half an hour
to get dressed.
It's ok
it's not like we do this everyday.
Love the way
you've got ice cream
on your eyebrow.
Saturdays your favorite thing
is to play board games.
Love the way
you told me I smelled like lunch.
It's not the same
when you're gone
but can't remember that.

Up To No Good
01:26
|

|
It's been a while
since I've heard anything
coming from that room.
That might seem nice
but it usually means
something's going down.
I don't know
what you're getting into.
But it sounds
like you're up to no good.
Reminds me of the
time you broke out of the,
out of the house.
It was nap time
but you climbed out of your
bedroom window
I was shocked
to find you in the backyard
lookin' up
at me with a big grin
You were up to no good
but it wasn't too bad.

Inside Voices
01:44
|

|
We've been using our inside voices.
We've been using them inside
like you asked us to.
We've been using our outside voices.
We've been using them outside
and sometimes we use them inside, too.
When we're together every day
I hear everything you say
Why are you yelling in my ear
when I'm right here?
Have you listened to your inside voices?
Have you listened to what they're telling you to do?
Pay attention to your inside voices
pay attention and they'll help you know what to do
I know someday you'll be grown
and you'll be out there on your own.
But I hope you will come and yell at me regularly.

Montpelier

Hanging out with kids all day
makes you realize how dumb you are.
Seeing how much they know so young
makes you wonder how you got this far.
Hey dad, why did Rome collapse?
I don't know.
Why do you take so many naps?
I don't know.
Getting asked a hundred questions a day
reminds you how much you don't know.
Watching these kids remember everything
makes you wonder how much you forgot.
Did Mexico fight in World War 2?
I don't know.
What does a flux capacitor do?
I don't know.
Who built the Suez Canal?
I don't know.
What do you call a group of owls?
I don't know.
Has Netherlands won the world cup?
I don't know.
How do bears know when to wake up?
I don't know.
How did Chewbacca and Han Solo meet?
I don't know.
Why do you have so much hair on your feet?
I don't know.
What's the capital of Vermont?
Montpelier.
