The World's Greatest Garbage Truck makes a stinky children's song


The World's Greatest Garbage Truck
was a driving.
Mmm mmm mmm. Mmm mmm mmm.

But it was not on the road,
it was in the ocean.
Mmm mmm mmm. Mmm mmm mmm.

Then it came to a swimming pool,
and went in swimming pool.
Mmm mmm mmm. Mmm mmm mmm.

It already had baby wings on,
soft and squishy.
Mmm mmm mmm. Mmm mmm mmm.

Have fun,
– Josie

Garbage Trucks (definition): Something that picks up Yum-yum-yuck garbage and hauls it to the dump.

The World's Greatest Gorillas dance to the jungle beat of this children's song


One time a gorilla was swimming in the sea.
In the sea. In the sea.
It was climbing up a tree,
'Cause sea was not a sea, it was a forest.

The gorilla fell off the tree.
Off the tree. Off the tree.
'Cause the forest was a sea.
Yes a sea. Don't you see.

No, the sea was not a sea.
Was a forest? Was a forest!
Now I don't know what I'm talking about,
but maybe you do, so add on.

Have fun
– Josie

Gorillas (definition): Though powerful dancers, these African apes are — ug ug — endangered.

In Gulliver's travels, he meets Baby Monster Mom with a plug in her hands [classic children's storytelling game]


Well one day Gulliver was walking around in a forest,
but it was in Lilliput,
and in that land everything was so, so tiny.

So in a second he had breezed past the forest,
and in another second he was flying over the ocean,
covering miles and miles and miles in each step. AND THEN…

He ran,
and in just three hours
he was back home on the other side of the world. AND THEN…

After Gulliver travels, he likes to watch TV,
but his TV wasn't plugged in,
so he couldn't watch TV. AND THEN…

Baby Monster Mom visited Gulliver.
He didn't know who she was, but she was very sweet
because she gave him a plug. AND THEN…

You decide what's on next!

Have fun,
– Josie (and the dad)

Where am I? It's hard to remember [Memories from Magic World: day 7]


The true story of a little girl's imaginary world.

Yawn…
One day,
I got up
and didn't know which side I was on.

Ewww…
I was up to my knees
in river of beans and gravy
because of the accident.

Meow – meow…
I had made a mess,
a real big one,
because I wanted to eat from the floor like a cat.

Ooops…
But then I didn't eat it all,
because I didn't have enough time
because I had to go to bed, to go to sleep.

Spish, spash…
But before I went to bed, I had to take a bath,
but my toilet and the bath tub look very similar,
so I accidentally sat in the toilet.

Flush, flush!
And then I flushed,
thinking I was turning the water on,
and I went down, down.

So where am I now?

Have fun,
– Josie

A Giant Comic Book [Memories from Magic World: day 6]


The true story of a little girl's imaginary world.

Every-time we walk downstairs
and out the door,
we enter a comic book.

It happens all over the world,
even in New York.

So when I fell down
and scraped my knee and hands this morning
and cried,
the giant who was reading the comic book cried too.

Have fun,
– Josie
