ships? or boats?

when i was very young, and my dad was still working on aircraft carriers, whenever my mom and i would drive near or to the piers, especially when he was coming back in from a cruise, i would sing a little song that went like this: "da-ddy, wa-wa, da- ddy, wa-wa..." why does that still pop into my head so often? and: yesterday, in the times, there was an article about yet another blogger. i already read a bunch of the "cool" ones, most of which actually ARE fun to read, though that guy rob over at clublife is getting a little redundant with his guido nonsense... anyhoo, this week's flavah is stephanie klein. and i'm checking her out, and i'm reminded that i keep meaning to do an update of the hundred things from a couple few years ago, and so i start it, and then i'm scrolling down, and i see this post... it says this to me: "believe people when they show you who they are." and this is kinda the answer to something that's been gnawing at me today, and for several days previous. she continues on, talking about self-worth, just so there's no confusion, and i appreciate her for that. so, thanks, stephanie, and congrats on your fame. i hope it serves you well.
