Killing a Fly with a Ukulele: Oh where is my hairbrush?

I am the Mum.
If life was a circus, I would be the plate-juggling lady with monkeys on her shoulders who stands on one leg on a horse's back as it canters around the ring.

I am the Writer.
I use too many commas, dashes and dot-dot-dots, and I often start sentences with conjunctions because I like my blog to look the way it sounds in my mind.

I am the Hero.
Life is a bit like a superhero action comic, except that the superheroes are tiny children dressed in super-suits who possess no actual powers, while I just get them food, break up fights and clean their super-suits.

Oh where is my hairbrush?

Finally! The video I have been wanting to capture and desperate to edit for your enjoyment:

Anna-Lucia singing "The Hairbrush Song" from Veggie Tales.

Many of you would know the original, but some may not. Here it is - this time sung by an animated cucumber.

She's beautiful.

Femina said...: I LOVE IT!! That is so cute. As soon as I saw the title of your post I thought, "Ooh... Veggie Tales!" I would have been seriously disappointed if it had been a mundane post about losing your actual hairbrush.; 01 September, 2009 10:39

Heather said...: FANTASTIC! So very glad that this was the first post in my overstuffed blog reader (well over 100 posts to read that I missed while on vacation!) to look at this morning.

I've got footage of my kiddo doing the same song at around the same age, only singing it into a window fan for extra vibrato, of course. If I find it I will give you the link so we can work out the details of our would-totally-be-a-hit, international duo of Daughters Who Cover the VeggieTales. :D xo; 01 September, 2009 23:13
Alison said...: So cute! I love how she's just SLIGHTLY behind the song.

And why does a cucumber need a hairbrush anyway? (Maybe I should have watched the original video in case it tells us. Nah.); 02 September, 2009 05:45
Allegro ma non troppo said...: It took half an hour to fully buffer with our wonderful diallup, but it was great! I love her dancing and her "window".; 02 September, 2009 20:40
Sassy Britches said...: Oh, my loves. May I please come and live with you all? I need some of this in my life!; 04 September, 2009 05:49

This is the story of me, Givinya de Elba, and my adventures with Mr de Elba, my children Buzz, Jessie, and Woody and our dog, Bullseye. We have plenty of good times, some weird times and a huge dose of drama.

Some of my posts are sad, lots are funny and sometimes I subject you to my pondering. We have our celebrations, when I write a decent poem I share it with you and when I'm held hostage, I do the occasional meme.

Other people who are special to me feature here too, some of them being my Dad, my Mum, my Crazy Sister (her blog), my Wee Brother and my good friend Hippomanic Jen (her blog).

I am a part-time speech pathologist, and try to cook, keep a garden alive and take photos that don’t make us look like we are pharmaceutically affected or dangerously homicidal.

I often suffer from Mumfail but I keep hanging on to the One who picks me up when I fall. If you email me, I’ll answer.

And if all that is too much, just read my “Best Of."

No, they didn't.

They called me Katherine.

I go by Kate.

I came up with the pseudonym Givinya de Elba in highschool and it was based on a joke from an episode of Dad's Army called 'A Soldier's Farewell.'

In the episode, after eating too much toasted cheese, Captain Mainwaring dreams he is Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo. I don't remember much about the episode other than Mainwaring telling his loyal men (Jones, Pike and Godfrey) that he has been exiled to the island of Elba.

Jones quips, "Hence the expression - Givin' ya the Elber!" (giving you the elbow, i.e., pushing you around.) I thought that Givinya de Elba was a half-decent pseudonym for someone who likes to joke and push people around, and I stuck with that.

My sweet niece ...
