If I had a million dollars...

Not sure why this Barenaked Ladies Song Comes to mind...

If I had a million dollars(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a house(I would buy you a house)
And if I had a million dollars(If I had a million dollars)
Buy you furniture for your house(Maybe a nice chesterfield or an ottoman)
And if I had a million dollars(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a K-Car(A nice reliant automobile)
And if I had a million dollars
I'd buy your love

If I had a million dollars
I'd build a tree fort in our yard
If I had million dollars
You could help, it wouldn't be that hard
If I had million dollars
Maybe we could put a little tiny fridge in there somewhere
You know, we could just go up there and hang out
Like open the fridge and stuff
There would already be foods laid out for us
With little pre-wrapped sausages and things
Mmmmmmmmm
They have pre-wrapped sausages but they don't have pre-wrapped bacon
Well, can you blame 'em

Uh, yeah
If I had a million dollars(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a fur coat(But not a real fur coat that's cruel)
And if I had a million dollars(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you an exotic pet(Yep, like a llama or an emu)
And if I had a million dollars(If I had a a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you John Merrick's remains(Ooh, all them crazy elephant bones)
And If I had a million dollars
I'd buy your love

If I had a million dollars
We wouldn't have to walk to the store
If I had a million dollars
Now, we'd take a limousine 'cause it costs more
If I had a million dollars
We wouldn't have to eat Kraft Dinner
But we would eat Kraft Dinner
Of course we would, we'd just eat more
And buy really expensive ketchups with it
That's right, all the fanciest ketc... dijon ketchups!
Mmmmmm, Mmmm-Hmmm

If I had a million dollars(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a green dress(But not a real green dress, that's cruel)
And if I had a million dollars(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you some art(A Picasso or a Garfunkel)
If I had a million dollars(If I had a million dollars)
Well, I'd buy you a monkey(Haven't you always wanted a monkey)
If I had a million dollars
I'd buy your love

If I had a million dollars, If I had a million dollars
If I had a million dollars, If I had a million dollars
If I had a million dollars
I'd be rich

Ryan and I like to sing this song in the car sometimes and and then put each other on the spot to finish the line...

He usually says something serious, like he would make a baseball field--and I believe that the lad means it.
I usually say something silly, like inventing a jet boat for shark-hunting (he is going through a stage where he loves sharks and I know that will interest him), or buy 10,000 lbs. of bubble gum.

My favorite line from the song is "I would buy you a monkey" In one version of the song, the echo signer sings "I'll take mickey dolenze please", which is pretty freaking funny. But that makes me think of pretty much the last thing on the list once everything I really want is bought,--I guess that item would, necessarily, have to be a monkey.

Fran went to Ryan's first day of school, and checked in on him at lunch. My kid is the only 6 year old who actually chose to get spinach in the lunch line...I bet I could have won a million dollars betting someone on that.
