Lesson #40: Don't worry.

We have a songbird in our house.

C -- the youngest of the Brady Bunch -- loves to sing. He knows all the words to:

• Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
• Now I Know My ABCs
• Bob Marley's Three Birds
• House of Pain's Jump Around
• Bloodhound Gang's Three Point One Four
• and another song that K made up just for him when he plays with his train set.

Some of these songs aren't appropropriate for a little ears, I know.

But still, there is nothing more sweet than hearing a 3-year-old trill, "Every little thing's gonna be all right." Sometimes I need to hear that. For some reason, I can believe it when I hear it from an innocent babe.

Though I'd probably feel all right if I was chillin' in Jamaica, too.
