I love editing text with kids. I’m endlessly impressed with how deeply they get into the process of making lyrics better and better until we’re as close to perfection as we can get. Last week, we entered the realm of made-up words which led us to the kanoobadoodle and its tinky pranks. But I was most impressed by the editing job the group did for a moment when the Spirit of Candyland is dying. Here it is:
Goodbye my cloud
Farewell sweet land of candy
Goodbye my people of this land
Farewell to every atom on this earth
Goodbye cursed me
