Kookapotamus Head

Me holding Lily in 2008

On the way to day care this morning, 4-year-old Lily was singing "Kookapotamus head, kookapotamus head," over and over. After fifty repetitions, she told me that it was a song she made up, and she was going to add more words to it.

"You're going to write them for me," she said. "Kookapotamus head, kookapotamus head."

Repeat fifty more times. Google knows nothing of anything called a kookapotamus. Well, now it does.
