A funny

My dad used to sing Tura-Lura-Lural, an Irish lullaby, to us kids when we were small. He said he'd learned it from his mother. When his grandchildren visited, he sang it to them, too.

Earlier today, Mary and I were talking about war movies when she suddenly asked, "Why did your dad sing Tora Tora Tora to the kids?"

You missed a chance. You COULD have replied: "because they're karate kids."

Don't they sing Tura-Lura-Lural in "the Quiet Man?"

I don't recall that song in The Quiet Man, Steve, but I'm willing to watch it again in order to find out. It's one of my favorite movies.

And last night, Gunga Din was on, one of my dad's favorites.
