Slip Slidin' Away!

The title of this post is a song my Mom used to sing around the house. That's the only line I remember, and when I saw this picture it popped into my head! Piper was going from standing to sitting by just slowly letting her little feet slide apart until she was doing the splits! I tried to get a picture of the splits but she moved too fast. I know she looks really uncomfortable here but she was actually babbling and cooing happily while slowly sliding down. It was so funny!

I believe those are the EXACT types of moments when I used to sing that, and probably the reason those are the only words you know is 'cause those were the only ones I knew. But just look what I googled just for you:

Words & music by paul simon (as in Simon and Garfunkle)

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

I know a man
He came from my home town
He wore his passion for his woman
Like a thorny crown
He said delores
I live in fear
My love for you's so overpowering
I'm afraid that i will disappear

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

I know a woman
Became a wife
These are the very words she uses
To describe her life
She said a good day
Ain't got no rain
She said a bad day's when i lie in bed
And think of things that might have been

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

And i know a fa-ther
Who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons
For the things he'd done
He came a long way
Just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then he turned around and headed home again

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

God only knows
God makes his plan
The information's unavailable
To the mortal man
We work our jobs
Collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway
When in fact we're slip slidin' away

Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away

Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away
Mmm...
