A short YouTube dialogue in which Grandma Al (with another speaker) recounts writing a simple song for her twin grandchildren and uses the song and a whistling anecdote to illustrate a message about individual differences and doing things in one’s own way ("nobody can do you better than you"). The tone is conversational, warm, and didactic in a gentle way.
I have two grandkids, twins. And when they were five years old, I wrote a little.
Song for them. I won't sing it to you. I'll just say it to you.
Everybody doesn't know something, but everybody knows.
Something else.
Everybody can't do something, but everyone can do.
Something else.
At which point, you know, they seem to like this.
We would sing it all the time.
We're in the car and one of the twins, Theo, starts whistling. I said, theo, you're such a good whistler. At which point his brother Emmett says to me, grandma Al, when Theo was learning to whistle, I was learning.
Something else.
So if take that idea and the idea that our behavior makes sense or.
Else we wouldn't.
Do it and that if we do it our own way, nobody can do.
It better than we can in our own way that we.
Can all be.
Successful.
