How NOT to use the imperative: The Mom song


Today is the last day of our Christmas break and the thermometer outside the kitchen window indicates 13 degrees Celsius below zero....in America this would be about 10 degrees Fahrenheit! Quite a shock for the body because three days ago I was still swimming in the Atlantic Ocean on a warm beach off the coast of Fuerteventura.

The attached mom song video was sent to me this morning from Claudia a good friend in California who got remarried a few months ago - I guess she was hearing her own Jewish mother's voice when she listened to this funny tune....
