Abbey's Lyrical Analysis

After I scoop Dylan out of the bathtub into his waiting towel, Abbey makes the most of having the bathtub to herself.  She splashes and pours water from her shampoo cup and pretends she's swimming.  Of course, she stretches out and pretends to be a mermaid, "like Ariel".


The other night, she was splayed out, mermaid style, and flipping over and over in the water.  Having never seen those particular bathing moves before, I had to ask her about it.


"Rolling, Mommy," she responded, as though I was blind, because it was pretty obvious what she was doing.


"Like a mermaid?" I probed.


"No Mommy, I'm rolling in the deep.  See..." (more rolling) "...Rolling in the deep!"


In case you've somehow missed Adele's musical smash "Rolling in the Deep", some of the lyrics are at the end of this post.  You can gauge for yourself whether or not Abbey's interpretation is accurate.


She might look like Ryan, but the appetite for analyzing what she hears and reads?  That's all me.


Partial Lyrics to Adele's "Rolling in the Deep"
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
You had my heart inside of your hand
(You're gonna wish you never had met me)
And you played it to the beat
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with a beating

it seems that the bathtub isn't the only place to roll in the deep
