Mood

 There's nothing like finding a sad song when you already feel sad.  I promised Yoon Jung I'd put up a BTS song, so here it is.  I'm going to miss you.

Mood is usually your emotional tone.  My teenager says, "mood" when she relates to someone else's expressed emotion.

What are the best slow songs in English?  Are they depressing?  Are they fun?  Are they romantic?

Lullabies and baby vocabulary

 What calms you down when you are angry or stressed?  How do you calm down babies?


Language Guide: baby vocabulary

Language Guide: toys and playground equipment

Learning Chocolate: baby equipment (although a CRADLE rocks. A crib is a baby bed that doesn't move.)

Lullabies:

Brahms is really common here for baby toys, but I suspect that most of us don't know the words.

I often sang this next one -- just the first verse.  I learned it as "see" rather than "have."

I don't know anyone personally who sang the next one, 

but I think most people here know at least some of it.  

My mother sang this next song as a lullaby for me.  Instead of a ring with no end, it was a story with no end because it was the "story of our love."  The movie "Animal House" showed me that many people

don't like it the way that I did.

I think every child in the USA learns this next lullaby.  I have NO idea how it became popular.

The next lullaby is Christian-flavored, although my friend who always sang it isn't christian.

Do you sing lullabies?  What do you like to sing?

Are you shopping today?

 

Where did you go shopping?  Did you find any good deals?
