"1-2-3. DIE! 1-2-3. DIE! 1-2-3. DIE! 1-2-3 -"
"What are you doing, Deborah?"
"Counting."
"Counting what?"
"People. Did you know that one person dies every three seconds?"
"Er -."
"1-2-3. DIE! 1-2-3. DIE! 1-2-3-"
"Deborah?"
"What?"
"Do you think you could count something else. It's a bit distracting having you shouting 'DIE!' like that when I'm driving."
"OK."
Pause
"1-2-3. BORN! 1-2-3. BORN! 1-2-3. BORN!"
"Deborah!"
"What? There's one person born every three seconds, too."

Can I ride in your car next Sunday? It sounds quite entertaining.
And I'd promise not to teach your kids raunchy bodily function songs, such as: When you're sliding into third,and you feel you have to heavy turd, diarrhea. When you're sliding into home and your pants are full of foam, diarrhea
I mean, I could totally educate them on the finer points of American culture as well preparing them for any U.S. exchange program that they'd wish to pursue.
It's a win-win proposition :)
That is very funny! Got me chortling away. I hope the windows were down in the car so everybody could hear your strange offspring.
They'd be tutting away, 'bloody dysfunctional families...I blame it on the parents...'

Either way it sounds painful!
Molly gras: Come on over with your songs. We'd love them. They sound a hell of a lot better than 1-2-3.
Mya: Will open windows next time and join in - so they KNOW they can blame the parents.
Ingenious Rose: Thoroughly depressing - and I can't help thinking the births must come more frequently - or why is the world's population increasing?
LOL This is the first post i read on your blog and i love it, cannot wait to my girls are old enough to drive me insane like that
Laura: Why wait when you can have mine, now. I'll send them in the post to you and if they get lost, Alistair Darling will get the police in to look for them straight way. (Ignore the CD with the 25 million names that comes with them - I think it's a chain letter).
Gosh, I never thought of that! It's only ever the planes coming into Heathrow every 3 minutes that I count. Especially on the eve of a flight to NZ: "1,2, 3,landed safely", I chant.
Not that it helps all that much. And now that I have your example in my mind, it will be worse than ever!
