Repetition...Repetition...Repetition

Maureen loves her Fisher Price Aquarium Cradle Swing (on loan from the Boese/Koch Foundation for Soothing Infants). It really is a nice contraption; a plush-pillow top seat, a mobile featuring stuffed, Nemo-like fish circling overhead, an aquarium globe hub inside the circling Nemos, a swivel function that allows either side -to-side or head-to-toe swinging, and your audio choice of waterfall effects or a musical medley. Herein lies the problem - not a huge problem, maybe it's a slight irritation, like one of those pimples on the side of your nose. Though the musical medley offers a nice variety of soothing tunes, they still bore into your brain and feed on you cerebellum. The other day I got out of the shower and Kristin asked, "Did you realize you were singing track number three from the Fisher Price Aquarium Cradle Swing (on loan from the Boese/Koch Foundation for Soothing Infants)? Keep in mind, the songs that play on the Fisher Price Aquarium Cradle Swing (on loan from the Boese/Koch Foundation for Soothing Infants) don't have words. These songs are so much a part of my every day life that I am visualizing lyrics, picking out wicked ukulele solos in time, even scatting in harmony (at least my ear recognizes it as harmony) to the Fisher Price Aquarium Cradle Swing (on loan from the Boese/Koch Foundation for Soothing Infants). Bottom line: it relaxes Moj (in accordance to the Boese/Koch Foundation's mission statement) and is worth any torture her parents must endure. You just apply a little dab of butt paste and move on.

Addendum: After writing this entry the author learned that the Fisher Price Aquarium Cradle Swing is not on loan from the Boese/Koch Foundation for Soothing Infants. It was purchased from the Boese/Koch Foundation for Soothing Infants (final sale price undisclosed.)
