I can't get no parental attention ...



Sometimes I just get so mad that if I don't do something about it, I'm going to totally explode ...

What's been frustrating me lately is that Mommy and Daddy have been dumping me more and more in the crib to just 'play on my own'. But really, if they don't give me a proper full time audience, how will they be able to appreciate every great cute/funny/exciting thing that I do? I really do not know what is wrong with them lately ...

Anyway, to keep myself at peace, here's my most recent venting ... I wrote a new song ... it's inspired by the Rolling Stones song "I Cant Get No Satisfaction" (hear it here: http://music.yahoo.com/Rolling-Stones/I-Cant-Get-No-Satisfaction/lyrics/58867057 ) and it's called:

I Can't Get No Parental Attention
_____________________________

I can't get no parental attention,
I can't get no parental attention.
'Cause I yell, and I scream, and I cry, I don't know why.
I can't get no, I can't get no.

When I'm ditched in my crib
and my toys just start flying all around me
and Mr. Frog keeps tellin' me more and more
that I need to be a nice quiet baby
and I'm suppose to just play all by myself.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

I can't get no parental attention,
I can't get no parental attention.
'Cause I yell, and I scream, and I cry, I don't know why.
I can't get no, I can't get no.

When I'm lookin' out my window
and that baby staring right back at me
tells me it's ok to just hang out with her.
But I don't like that nearly as much
as when I'm with my Mommy and Daddy.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

I can't get no parental attention,
I can't get no parental attention.
'Cause I yell, and I scream, and I cry, I don't know why.
I can't get no, I can't get no.

When I'm rollin' round the crib
and I'm doin' this and I'm playing with that
and I'm tryin' to just have some fun on my own
but then realize that I need my audience
'cause you know I am this great big star.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

I can't get no, I can't get no,
I can't get no parental attention,
no parental attention, no parental attention, no parental attention!

Hang in there Avery, I believe you have a grandma who dotes on you.

You look very cool in your shades. And I'm glad to know you have such eclectic taste in music. And I hear you mastered the rolling over challenge. Give your parents a break. It's tough to be a full-time audience, just as it is to be a star!
