Gemma has been telling me all year that the only thing she wanted for her birthday was for me to write her a song. Well I did… kind of. This is actually a little jingle Gemma constantly sings to herself. I hear this little tune all the time:
Gemma’s doing dishes?
“Doot doot dooot doot doot.”
Gemma’s sending her friend a text message?
“Doot doot dooot doot doot.”
Gemma’s looking at dog videos on Instagram?
“Doot doot dooot doot doot.”
So while technically I didn’t write it — Gemma gets the credit for that — I did embellish it, expand it, and turn it into a 90 second tribute to Gemma. (Complete with fireworks!)
Gemma, I love you so much. Happy, happy birthday. I’ll try to write you another one next year. Or maybe you will again :)
