Hippo Birdie, Two Ewes
In my college days I was quite the sap for Sandra Boynton's greeting cards. One that continues to reverberate is a birthday card. There are a handful of people who would recognize the phrase if (when) I use it. Now you're one more.
We read her ABC book to the girls when they were little. A, for Aardvark Admiring, B for Beavers Ballooning. Lilah looking up at me with a big grin when we'd get to Gopher's Grinning is one of those 'oh, that's why being a parent can be so incredibly cool' memories.

All triggered, ironically, by Paul Krugman's blog.

I'm one of the few - that card is an all time classic in our family - going back decades!
Me too! I sang this instead of the usual Happy Birthday song to both my girls when they were young and even now, my older daughter who has just turned 23 says her birthday is not complete without her "Hippo Birdie" song!!
