In one of the videos yesterday, Maddie was dancing to “Daughter” by Loudon Wainwright III. I guess it was in the soundtrack for the movie Knocked Up. Huh. Guess I don’t pay very close attention. Chuck had me listen to the lyrics. What a sweet song. If you have a little girl, you will appreciate this song.

Daughter
Everything she sees, She says she wants
Everything she wants, I see she gets
That’s my daughter in the water, Everything she owns I bought her
Everything she owns
That’s my daughter in the water, Everything she knows I taught her
Everything she knows
Everything I say, She takes to heart
Every time she takes, She takes apart
That’s my daughter in the water, Every time she fell I caught her
Every time she fell
That’s my daughter in the water, I lost every time I faught her
Yeah I lost every time
(Instrumental)
Every time she blinks, She strikes somebody blind
Every time she thinks, Blows her tiny mind
That’s my daughter in the water, Who’d’ve ever thought her
Who’d’ve ever thought
That’s my daughter in the water, I lost every time I faught her
Yeah I lost every time
(Instrumental until the end)

Now I have the song in my head.
