It all started with Andrea Bocelli appearing on Sesame Street singing "Time to say Good Night" to Elmo.
A few weeks later, at dinner, the girls were restless and a tad uncooperative. I decided to distract them with my opera voice which I used to imitate Pavorotti when I was much younger for sheer fun. Interestingly, it got their attention. I would like to say that it was due to my superb singing voice but it is not to be. Maybe it was the words.
Time to say good nite,
my Orange (or Apple)
Time to sleep,
It's time to go to bed
Time to go to sleep
The girls liked it so much that O would request me to sing it during meals. I can even use it as a bargain chip. "Eat your vegetables first then mama will sing opera". Sometimes the request would be "Mama sing Auntie Opera" or "Mama sing Uncle Opera", depending on whether they want to hear Bocelli or Sarah Brightman. But Auntie Opera's more hiliarious because there was no way mama could hit those high notes.
On National Day, it suddenly dawn on me that we have a VCD on Bocelli's "Night in Tuscany". For the last few days, we been watching and listening to Andrea Bocelli's Con te partiro. Orange even calls him "Uncle Bocelli".

So cool! Yi Yi has heard Kumquat sang it once and it was super cool! You are a great mummy, Kumquat! Innovative! Orange and Apple are blessed to have you making so much effort to mould them and entertain them!
