This was my daughter's belief that I inspired (I am one of THOSE moms!). When she was 3-4 yrs old, we had a coffee mug that would play music if light hit the bottom of it. She was amazed at my ability to make it "sing", so I let her in on the "secret". I demonstrated how I had to hold my tongue in a particular way for it to work (while at the same time picking it up - she hadn't connected THAT part of it). She was SO excited! When her father came home, she ran up to him with the mug and with her tongue sticking out saying, "Wook Tatty! I making it THING!!" (Look Daddy! I'm making it sing!!)
