I used to go around singing "Mik, kamik, kamik kamik!" and I had no idea where it came from! <br /><br />Thanks, Polly!Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17535517648319017583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28165993.post-11249480038338599202009-10-23T23:23:34.111-04:002009-10-23T23:23:34.111-04:00Bonjour Polly,

Within seconds, my wife, Mo, walked briskly from the other side of our house, a smile on her face, humming the song, and her eyes welled. She was brought back to her French grandmother's living room in San Francico, where as young girl she awoke hearing this song on most Saturday mornings -- followed by "forbidden coffee and a perfectly cooked egg and toast." <br /><br />Thanks. <br /><br />Jake Dear http://parisandbeyondinfrance.blogspot.com/Jake Dearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05243424840788435371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28165993.post-87762913977937406912009-10-23T16:03:06.538-04:002009-10-23T16:03:06.538-04:00Funny how our minds just make up what we think we ...Funny how our minds just make up what we think we hear.Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386841450183061541noreply@blogger.com
