Day 84: Down In the Boondocks song

Hi again,
This may seem odd to be thankful for and I suppose it is more a memory attached to this song than the song itself that I am thankful for. Today we got groceries and on the way home, the song "Down in the Boondocks" came on the radio which reminded me of a memory from years ago. I was fairly young and we were in the car and it was me and my sister and my mom and we were driving along and this song came on and my older sister and I both thought the song was Down in the Moondocks. lol It made so little sense to us and so one of us (can't remember who) asked our mom what that meant and she corrected us that it was down in the Boondocks which made no more sense to us than Down in the Moondocks. lol So she explained what it meant and we had a good laugh over what we thought it had been. It is a memory that isn't maybe that significant to others but to me it stayed with me and I smile when I hear that song. I smile while remembering that time and the moments we spent laughing about something silly. My mom doesn't even remember it and I am not sure if my sister does but for some reason it stuck with me and it makes me smile. Then it leads me to other memories of times where we would laugh over a song or have the lyrics wrong and it made the song funny. The song itself isn't even that fun or exciting but that time we spent laughing was fun. Then today I told my mom about that time and she didn't remember but we had a good laugh again. I have a quote that is on my wall that sums this up perfectly actually. "We do not remember days, we remember moments" This memory is just about a few happy moments-not days. Yet they make me smile and anything that makes me smile when I think about it is definitely worth remembering and holding on to! So this is why I am thankful for the song Down in the Moondocks.... er ...Boondocks. Lol
