Something I Saw In The Park

[Recidiva]

Recidiva, from what i read of Roscos opening post; Rosco had just came in to the park, when he saw this incident.

Who's to say the grandfather figure hadn't already put the little girl on "time out" for something she did while playing with the other children.

And her being the "Oh so sweet lil girl" thought that she could get off "time out" if she started doing the fake crying and whining? And the grandfather figure just knew she was "playing up the audience", and he wasn't going to give up on being the rules maker?

And once the little girl finally stopped, knowing that the "whining rage" of a temper tantrum wasn't going to get her, her own way; she decided to crawl into grandfather figures lap. And fall asleep from exhaustion from the temper tantrum. Like a good lil girl. Instead of a brat.

To be honest, i use to pull the same tricks on my dad; and he would just say "T, in ain't gonna getcha nowhere; so ya might as well stop now and act your age".

If I didn't harass rosco I wouldn't ever get any attention from him, now would I?

He ignored me, but I got some Nezatch.

Instant flashback to Johnny Cash and "A Boy Named Sue."

Hm. My dad played "The Kingston Trio" and I loved them.

"You've got to prime the pump, you must have faith and believe. You've got to give of yourself before you're worthy to recieve. Drink all the water you can hold, wash your face to your feet. But leave the bottle full for others. Thank ye kindly, Desert Pete"

or

"You got to walk that lonesome valley. You got to walk it by yourself. Oh, nobody else can walk it for you, you've got to walk it by yourself."

My mother danced me around to "Desperado" by the Eagles.

I think this must explain things.

I got Arlo Guthrie, Kingston Trio...

Lots of musicals.

I still can't hear "Sound of Music" without hearing it my head with the skips from the family album.

I remember once my middle girl came to me, in fake tears, whining, and said 'I CAN'T GET MY BED MADE!' *sniffsnivelwhine*

I didn't even look up from the computer and said 'wow that sucks.'

There was silence for a few second where you could almost HEAR her thinking, and then in a perfectly reasonable and calm voice she said 'mommy? will you help me make my bed.' My immediate response was 'yes. hold on a second.'

Ignoring bad behavior works.

This right here. Perfect.

I love the Kingston Trio. I've got a bunch of their stuff on various formats.

Oh! Oh yay!

I reordered my versions on CD.

And today I've been singing "With her 'ead tucked underneath her arm..."

Yes, mostly in my head, but there's giggling.

"The sentries think that it's a football that she carries in and when they had a few they shout, Is Army going to win? They think that it's Red Grange instead of poor old Ann Bolyn with her head tucked underneath her arm."

Such great stuff! It's rare to come across a fellow Kingston Trio fan, but so many people I've introduced them to have started to really dig the act. One of the greats gems of music in that era.

Relief... I thought I might be the only person in this day and age with the Kingston Trio on my iPod. Not that I'd delete them if I were, but nice to know I'm not totally alone.
