then comes baby in the baby carriage

malia comes home yesterday and tells me she learned a new song at school. "but it's kinda bad," she said. i asked her what she meant. she said, "you say a boy and a girl's name, and then you spell the word kissing." she told me she thought the song was funny at first, until they used her name in it. then she realized it was considered teasing. even though i knew the song (everybody does), i asked her if she could sing it to me so i would know what she was talking about. she was embarrassed to sing it, and it was funny because she used herself and micah for the song. "it's just an example," she said, "but i won't sing the song to tease anyone." at least i know i taught her something right.
