You make my heart murmur…

This picture will make more sense at the end of the post

So at dinner last week we were talking about irregular heartbeats.  You know… for fun…

“You used to have a heart murmur,” I tell Rissa.  “When you were a baby.”

“What’s a heart murmur?”

“It’s like an extra heart beat on top of your regular heartbeat… ish.”

“COOL!  But I don’t have it anymore?”

“I don’t think so, or at least it  hasn’t been mentioned since we had to take you to the special doctor when you were a baby.”

She pouts.   Then a thought passes over her face.  “You know what would be the absolute BEST?!?“

David and I look at her expectantly.

“It would be awesome if I went to the doctor and he listened to my heart and it went like this:

Bomp-ba-da-da-da-domp, ba-da-da-da-da-domp, ba-da-da-DOMP-DOMP…  
(she uses her hands to drum the table)  

And then… on top of that have this sound:

BOM-BOM-BA-DA-DOM-DOM-BA-DA-DOM-DOM-BA-DA-DOM!!!” 
(She is now singing above the percussive part with gusto)

David and I share a look.

“Is that Pirates of the Caribbean?”

“IT IS!!!!  Wouldn’t that be AWESOME?!?“

See?  First picture makes sense now, doesn’t it?
