Toddler Tourettes

I don't know if any other mom's suffer from this, but I believe I have a severe case of it. You see "Toddler Tourettes" (at least in our house) is when a parent randomly sings, speaks a phrase, or makes a noise that he/she has heard over and over again due to a Toddler's toys, books and movies.
For example, last night I'm cooking dinner and suddenly I start singing, "Drumming Drumming Drumming....Cave company is coming." Aaron just walked past me and muttered, "Toddler Tourettes!" I bowed my head in mock shame and said, "It's true...so true." For those of you who don't recognize this little ditty, I will let you know that it is a song from "The Backyardigans". I think I've seen this movie with Truitt at least 5 times. We have watched it a lot lately because all of us in the Lowrey household have been sick, and I believe that movie watching is great theropy for feeling icky.
For me it's not just with movies, it's with toys and books etc. Sometimes I will have phrases from "One Fish Two Fish" in my head as I lay my head on my pillow at night.
I have a strong feeling that I am not the only mother that suffers from this syndrom, but I don't know of any support groups.
But....
"Now it's time for us to have a snack, see you next time wheeeeen weeee're baaaaack with our friends the Backyardigans."
