My Mom picked up the next book I am going to read for me from the bookstore yesterday. While she was there, a couple books caught her eye and one of them was titled, Body Language, my Mom told me that she has always been interested in learning what someone’s body language means and as I flipped through the pages, I began singing Ursula’s song, “Poor Unfortunate Souls” from The Little Mermaid repeatedly! I had to look up this song to show my Mom the video because she didn’t know what I was talking about as I sang the line with, “Body language” in it over and over!
That’s the type of song that has to be belted out at the top of your lungs as your phone volume is turned all the way up and my Nom just smiled and kind of laughed a little bit at me singing this song with such gusto!
I was really surprised that I still knew most of the words 30 years later! My friends and I mostly sang Ariel’s songs when we were in 2nd grade but we watched the movie so much that I guess, subconsciously, I learned all the words to Ursula’s song as well! This song was in my head all day yesterday, especially the, “Body language“ line and since I didn’t leave my house yesterday, no one was here to be bothered by my singing!
Not only did my Mom pick up my book for me yesterday, she got some books for herself, AND she bought both of us a bookmark!
I have just been using the paper bookmark they give you at the bookstore when you buy books that advertises some book club meeting from back in the beginning of February. At least I graduated from the return envelopes from credit card offers. It’s not like the purple monster bookmark with blue eyes that my student made for me so many years ago that I am somehow hoping it’s stuck in a book somewhere in my house and I will find it one day; but, I will HAVE to use this one! My Mom and I will be MATCHERS!!!
