I'm gonna tell my son to grow up pretty as the grass is green and whip-smart as the English Channel's wide
And I'm gonna tell my son to keep his money in his mattress and his watch on a hand between his thighs
And I'm gonna lock my son up in a tower till I write my whole life story on the back of his big brown eyes
And I'm gonna tell my son to join a circus so that death is cheap and games are just another way of life
And I'm gonna tell my son to be a prophet of mistakes because for every truth there are half a million lies
And I'm gonna lock m son up in a tower till he learns to let his hair down far enough to climb outside.

I love that song. 'Specially that "big brown eyes" line. sigh.
Oh damn-
I read about a million blogs and I have to tell you that yours is the only one that I ever leave comments on. You inspired me to start my own. Thanks ! I started reading your blog while pregnant w/ my baby girl. I feel like old friends. How nice!

There is lots of locking the kid up in the tower going on there.
I totally support that. mk
