Sad Song

Made some popcorn, and broke out my & Z's guitars. Started playing her preschool graduation song ("Working on the Railroad"). She gets agitated. "Excuse me! Can you stop?". She wants to make up a song, so she says, "It goes like 'Adios amigos. We'll see you later.". So I start playing some random minor key progression, knit my brows and start singing. She looks vaguely concerned, "Is this a sad song?"

I say, I suppose so, and start playing again, really hamming it up this time. Suddenly, I hear sobs. She's crying uncontrollably.

I pick her up and hug her, patting her back. "It's okay, it's okay. Let's sing a happy song..."

"About popcorn."

We agree.
