LOL. That's a good one.
Mood Indigo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Mood Indigo is a classic jazz composition and song, with words and music by Duke Ellington, Barney Bigard, and Irving Mills.
The main theme was provided by Bigard, who learned it in New Orleans from his clarinet teacher Lorenzo Tio, who called it a "Mexican Blues". Ellington's distinctive arrangement was first recorded by his band for Okeh Records in on 30 October 1930.
According to Amanda Wilde on KUOW, Duke once said he composed this song in 15 minutes, while he was waiting for his mother to finish dinner.
The tune has become a jazz standard.
"Mood Indigo" is at least as often performed as an instrumental as a song, and is often also done mostly featuring the instruments with a short vocal chorus. The number has enjoyed success and many recordings all three ways.

Mood Indigo
You ain't been blue; no, no, no.
You ain't been blue,
Till you've had that mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I sit and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
Always get that mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye.
In the evenin' when lights are low,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
I'm just a soul who's bluer than blue can be.
When I get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down and die.
sorry - I negected to put a smiley on that. Meant it to be funny.
What is kind of strange, is that I don't fit in a lot of times. I think it has more to do with the politics within my family growing up than being an indigo.
I agree completely. My son is bright. He rarely complained about his teachers. He got along well with most of them. The other ones I would tell him 'figure out a way to do well and get along in the class'. He did well in high school and is doing well in college. People need to figure out a way to get along with people in general. Some are difficult and need more work. In the end, we are all we have.
It is possible to have children well into your forties.
My aunt had her tubes tied at the age of 46 because she kept having "accidents".
I knew you were joking, silly. Thank you for the apology anyway.
