Just Around The Corner

Emmy started singing a new tune a couple of weeks ago. It was one line she repeated over and over, “Just around the corner!”,”Just around the corner!”. I even began humming it, like a commercial jingle that you can’t get out of your head. The two of us walking around the house, “Just around the corner!” A few days in, I began to notice my older kids giggling every time they heard us singing. The giggles turned to whispers between the two of them. Finally they would just look at each other a burst into laughter whenever Emmy sang the song. I new it was cute, but this was ridiculous! I had to ask, “What is so funny?” My older daughter looked at me smiling, “That’s the song from the fourth grade video about puberty!” I was horrified. There Emmy was in Starbucks, the playground, the supermarket, singing what every child from the age of nine knows as “The Puberty Song”.
