There was this song that we would sing when I was little, and I am not sure if you know it, but the lyrics went like this: "On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese, I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed." The rest of the song proceeds to tell the tale how the meatball rolls off the table, out the door, and finally becomes mushed. The song is supposed to be funny, but when I was a child, it made me incredibly sad. For years, I would hear this song sung by various family members…
