As a new mom, I have spent countless hours singing to my daughter in an attempt to soothe her and convince her that sleep is a basic human right. Most of the songs were originally sung by the Beatles, James Taylor, and Bette Midler (yes, I am actually a 70-year old trapped in a 39-year old’s body), but a few of them are ones I loved as a kid. The other night I started singing Teddy Bears’ Picnic to her and realized that the first few lines were pretty terrifying.
