Lime in the Coconut



I'm not usually one to post videos. But this is a favorite in my house. Great senseless song. It makes my kids laugh.

And me? It makes me laugh too. Sometimes it also makes me cry. The combination of innocence and a strange presence of maturity and knowledge-to-come in this child's aspect produces my flux of emotions. Maybe you have felt such tensions at different times... joy and sorrow all wrapped up in a single experience?

As it turns out, lime in the coconut is the perfect name for this... sweet and sour mixed together. Drink it all up. Laugh and weep, in the same swallow.
