Skidamarink a dink a dink

Randomly, at dinner tonight, she begins singing the Skidamarink a dink a dink song as Mommy held Asher.

But it's changed.

The first part is as it always is:

"Skidamarink a dink a dink, Skidamarink a dink a doo"

But then there is a twist. She says this with her big blue eyes shining and an impish grin the whole way through.

"I dove you, Ahtah. Skidamarink a dink a dink ,Skidamarink a dink a doo, I dove you, Ahtah. I dove you in the morning Ahtah, and in the afternoon, Ahtah, Idove you in the evening, Ahtah, and under neith the moom, Ahtah. Oooooohhhhhh Skidamarink a dink a dink, Skidamarink a dink a doo, I dove you, Ahtah."

And even as she tripped over the added words which messed up the rhyme, muddling her way all the way through, you could feel the love for her little brother.
