"500 miles"

Since last Friday, I have been keeping busy with visitors and they are non other than my parents, my aunt and my grandma. They came just to attend Nicole's birthday party. Wasn't Nicole a small big shot?

Nicole is very sticky to her grandma and she wants to sleep with grandma, so closely that she was almost suffocating grandma. Grandma can sing many songs and she taught Nicole this oldie "500 miles", something to the sound of "......a hundred miles, a hundred miles.....when you hear the whistle blow,..a hundred miles".

I believe it was sung in the context of a love relationship by the original singer before many of us were born but hearing it from Nicole defintely brings a new flavour! She sings it in the bathroom, she sings it while riding her scooter and she even amplifies her voice using a microphone as though she is really missing someone so dearly! I wonder who! :)
