"A SONG!" Trudi yelled out.

"Ask nicely," Molly told her.

"AUNT MOLLY!" Marybeth ran full speed to give her a hug.

[bruiser_in_pink]

Molly blinked at the little girl in confusion, but hugged her back. At least she'd said 'Aunt' and not 'Mommy'.

Marybeth insisted on being able to spend more time with Lorne and thus dragged her daddy to Storytime.

Cameron was a bit wary of getting stuck with leg warmers, but apparently he didn't have much to say at all as he was dragged off.

"Look, Daddy! There's Aunt Molly!" Marybeth said, running over.

"Hey there pumpkin," Lorne said with a little wave. "How are you today?"

[demonwitchlings]

"I want a story with fencing and fighting and torture and revenge and giants and monsters and chases and escapes," Benjamin demanded. "But no kissing."

[weesnark]

"I second that," Kagaku agreed. "Because girls are stupid."

[demonwitchlings]

"Bet I could kick your butt!" Portia said with a glare.

[karaoke_lizard]

"No fighting kittens!"

"Tell a story with lightsabers!" says OJ, while Jaye rolls her eyes and cuddles a very large cup of coffee.

"How's about I sing a song instead..."

Space Battles! Talk-ing bout Space Battles!

the big hair-y guy and the guy with the gun.

They've got a sword that looks like a flash-light

The chick with the ear muffs and the old decrepit man.

And the gold-en dro-o-oid ta-a-a-alks too much

And the blue one loo-ooks like-a trash can

And Chock was the only fighter pilot who lived through all three of the movies

Space Battles! Talk-ing bout Space Battles!

There's Dark Helmet and that Admiral guy

They've got a big gnarly space station lots of stormtroopers and really cool ships

And Du-u-u-uke blew-ew-ew it up

A-and Ted saved his ba-acon

A-and they all got medals in a nice ceremony a-and Leanna kissed her bro-other on the lips

Space Battles Talk-ing 'bout Space Battles!

This song is not liscensed by lucas film ltd.

And if they ever found out I can be put in a cell with Bubba

[gonnabeajedi]

OJ totally claps, enjoying that way too much.

"Sing it again!" he says.

[karaoke_lizard]

"Okey Dokey kiddo but only if you sing me a song first!"

[daddysmessygirl]

Bailey came running in, full speed, about midway through the story, then screeched to a halt and just stared at Lorne until he was done.

"You're green," she pointed out.

[karaoke_lizard]

"And you got some shmutz on your face," Lorne replied. "But I don't judge. You got a request cutie?"

[daddysmessygirl]

"My daddy likes Cole Porter, and my mama likes They Must Be Gigantic, or somethin' like that. Can you sing those two? In one song? 'Cause I'm like Daddy and Mama in one person?"

"How about something like this:"

Up at dawn and sleepy and yawning
Still the taste of wine
Then I remember you're mine and
I've got a world that's fine
What's before me? Routines that bore me.
Punch the clock at 8
But what a lucky guy I am
I've got a world that's great

Atom bombs
Cape Canaveral and false alarms
Half the universe is up in arms
So I flip a little do until I'm holding you

What's the hassle? I'll buy the castle.
We can live like kings
If we're together forever
I've got a world that
You've got a world that
We've got a world that swings

I'd like to take you on this wild, wonderful venture
Fly like a kite through space -- no strings
I don't want to lose that bell that rings
I've got a world that
You've got a world that
We've
Got a world that swings
(We've got a world that swings) we've got a world that swings
(We've got a world that swings) we've got a world that swings
(We've got a world that swings) we've got a world that swings
