Lyrics To Live By

If I traded it all, if I gave it all away/
For one thing, just for one thing/
If I sorted it out, if I knew all about/
This one thing, wouldn't that be something.

How I Failed Five Today

Forgot his speech homework. I'm merely solidfying my reputation, so he'll really appreciate me when I remember.

How I Failed Five Today

Didn't pack his math homework, so he had to re-do the sheet. On both sides! And he can't just hand in his original homework, because she gave him a new sheet, which means he has to do it again. On both sides!

Lyrics to Live By

If you were falling, then I would catch you/
You need a light, I'd find a match/

Cuz I love the way you say good morning/
And you take me the way I am/

If you are chilly, here take my sweater/
Your head is aching; I'll make it better/

Cuz I love the way you call me baby/
And you take me the way I am/

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair/
Sew on patches to all you tear/

Cuz I love you more than I could promise/
And you take me the way I am/
You take me the way I am/
You take me the way I am.

How I Failed Five Today

Started playing the dance music while he was still in the shower. He had to get out and go dance naked until I found his pajamas. (I admit I took my time finding them.)

How I Failed Five Today

Wrote a note to his teacher to ask a question. That's going to get him in trouble.

Lyrics to Live By

Hush little baby, don't say a word/
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird/

And if that mockingbird don't sing/
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring/

And if that diamond ring turns brass/
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass/

And if that looking glass gets broke/
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat/

And if that billy goat won't pull
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull/

And if that cart and bull fall down/
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

How I Failed Five Today

Missed the ice cream social at school. There was ice cream, and it was two hours long, and there was a D.J.! How could I not remember? I never listen to him.

(The school sends all notices electronically. I missed it. He didn't tell me. He doesn't like ice cream, but it's true-the D.J. would have been fun.)

How I Failed Five Today

Wouldn't front him the ten dollars to order an extra Lego kit. I mean, he's good for it. Obviously.

How I Failed Five Today

Didn't pay him his allowance until Sunday. Which is the beginning of a new week. He's supposed to get paid at the end of the week.

Lyrics and Failures

Mr. Bring Me Down/
Well ya like to bring me down, dont' ya/
But I ain't laying down/
Baby I ain't going down/
Can't nobody tell me how it's gonna be/
Nobody's gonna make a fool out of me/
Baby you should know that I lead, not follow

How I Failed Five Today

Made him wait for Dad to go to the diner for dessert. He's been planning this for weeks, and I keep making him wait! And then, after he had chocolate chip pancakes, I would not buy him a big cookie. You know, they're pancakes, which isn't really dessert.
