On the way home from school, Prairie and I stopped off at Toys ‘R’ Us to pick out a present for my nephew Noah, who we’ll be seeing this weekend. As we were walking out we passed a coin-operated Winnie the Pooh ‘horsey’-style ride that was playing the Winnie the Pooh theme. Prairie didn’t hear it at first until I started humming along.

As we were driving home, she suddenly turned to me. “Damn you! Winnie the Pooh is stuck in my head!”

I laughed. “It’s not my fault…it was the machine!”

“I didn’t hear the machine. It’s your fault.”

“I had to share the pain,” I protested.

“Some things shouldn’t be shared,” she explained. “The Winnie the Pooh theme is one. It’s a lot like syphilis.”

iTunes “Variations on “I Got Rhythm” for Piano and Orchestra” by Orchestre National de l’Opera de Monte Carlo (Edo de Waart) from the album Panorama: George Gershwin (1971, 8:32).
