Sanjaya Entertains the Patients

So we've just returned from a weekend with the grandparents. While we were there, Spilly and her Grandpa went off on a pilgrimage around the neighbourhood. They generally take the same route each time, and it usually culminates in a good romp behind the hospital, where there are ramps and squares and green spaces (not so green at the moment).

On this particular visit to the hospital grounds, Spilly decided one of the squares was a stage. In a voice loud enough to cheer up (or frighten) the patients within, she announced, "And now, ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce....Sanjaya Malakar!!"

She then ran to the centre of the stage and began to sing "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" with complex choreography.

When they got home, Grandpa dug out his DVD of "Standing in the Shadow of Motown." Together they watched Chaka Khan and Montel Jordan singing the same song.

Perhaps when Grandpa comes to our house next, we'll dig out our video of the Mighty S singing it. Grandpa and Spills can duke it out over which version's better.
