and even though you was a crack fiend, mama you always was a black queen...

...yeah, I know I'm not black. But in a past life I was. I was an African queen.

Anyway, I've bought my sister at least 2 Elmo dolls for Christmas in the past how many years. A Hokey Pokey Elmo has been sitting on the shelf with dead batteries for over 2 years. Meanwhile the exercising Elmo has been on the floor, low on batteries from the play time. Today, my mom decided to replace the batteries on the Hokey Pokey Elmo and play it. What's an even more brilliant idea? Play it together with the other Elmo! So there we were, me and my mom, two grown women cracking up at toys for children ages 2 and up. My sister watched with a confused look on her face.

I love my mama.
