Jeremy found the baby crack.  For those of you who aren’t familiar with the voodoo that is the baby crack, it is a mysterious video of folksy children’s songs performed by Hap Palmer in the 1980s.  The songs are acted out by children of various ages – including lots of babies – and their parents, with some psychedelic animations from time to time.  Hap Palmer is a strange dude, but he sure knows how to hypnotize the kiddos.

Grammy poses a copy of the baby crap at her house, and she makes good use of it when things reach fever pitch.  Jeremy randomly searched YouTube for “My Mommy Comes Back” — the Hap Palmer tribute to second wave feminism and a full generation of latch-key kids.  The song made him famous, and his memory lives on in the dazed eyes of my 11 month old.
