....why I am this way. M
y parents, (abetted by my grandparents), used to sing this song to me. It was performed at different times by Bing Crosby and Dorothy Shay, who released it in 1947. I was born the same year as Vladimir Putin and am three days younger than Dan Akroyd, so I don't know why they chose me for this particular golden oldie. I was a nice kid, really I was. There were other female grandchildren in the family, but I was the only one to receive the signal honor of my own song. It is really not fair.
Here is the chorus:
Daughter, baby daughter,
Poisoned all the neighbors chickens.
Daughter hadn't oughter
Least 'till she could run like the dickens.
They hit her with a shovel!
They pronounced it "Dotter".
They still call me that.

Well, at least unlike some of us - you can point to the source of some of your eccentricities. I'm still trying to come up with explanations :0)
Too funny! And like Cathy, I'm not sure why I'm the way I am...
Hi Cathy, yeah, it is good to know who to blame. lol
Laurie, I am glad to have an excuse.
That's funny! I am clueless as to what warped me - LOL
