My mother noted on the phone when we spoke this weekend that I&#8217;ve been with her nearly half her life now. I find that a humbling thought.  </p>
<p>In honor of the day, I take it upon myself to post something that brings together my childhood self and my present-day self: Raffi&#8217;s &#8220;Bananaphone&#8221; song, remixed with images from <em>Dr. Who</em> and <em>Torchwood</em>. I find it hilarious and disturbing in equal measure; Hanna declares it deeply, deeply wrong.</p>

<p>Thanks to <a href="http://thewakilibrarian.wordpress.com/">Diana</a> for disseminating this video via twitter. </p>
<p>And thanks to my family for, serendipitously, discussing Raffi and this song just days before Diana found said video, so it was fresh in my mind.</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s off to open presents!</p>
