"Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee. Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee," sang Jane from the backseat.
"What's that you're singing there, Janey?" I asked.
"Oh, just: doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee..." she sang in reply.
"Nice."
She kept on going.
"Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee. Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee..."
It was kind of catchy. Henry joined in.
"Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee. Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee..."
So did Erin.
"Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee. Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee..."
So did Alice.
"Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee. Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee..."
So did I.
"Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee. Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee..."
It was just a quiet little ditty, at first. Every now and again, one of us would break face and laugh, but then join back in with the rest of the family.
"Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee. Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee..."
Jane began a flight to a crescendo, and we all obediently followed along.
"Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee! Doo-doo doo-doo bow-ee!"
Until we were all shouting (musically).
"DOO-DOO DOO-DOO BOW-EE..."
It all fell apart when Henry started laughing in hysterics. We were helpless. It was wonderful. My face hurt from smiling.
Henry: We're the best family.

And you managed to stay in control of the car? You are one dangerous driver, dude.
(BTW the verification word below is "deredu". Was that one of the words in your ditty?)
So carefree, sweet and fun.
