Our Silly Girl |
Just like we have certain images in our minds, we also have certain episodes: something spoken, something written, something which for one reason or other really tickled our funny bones, and we have relished in the re-telling. In an effort to keep them in perpetuity, I’m collecting such little memories here.
Daddy got to visit Lydia’s class at preschool, and she showed him off proudly to her classmates with the following introduction: “This is my Dad, and he lives at work, and he has a beard, and he also has a tickle spot!” With this, she attacked it, and Daddy yelped, and the other kids laughed like crazy.
(A Girl Scout camping song; sung to the tune of “On Top of Old Smokey”)
At the camp with the Girl Scouts
They gave us a drink.
We thought it was Kool-Aid
Because it was pink.
But the thing that they told us
Would’ve grossed out a moose
For that great-tasting pink drink
Was really bug juice.
It looked fresh and fruity
Like tasty Kool-Aid
But the bugs that were in it
Were murdered with Raid.
We drank it by gallons
We drank it by tons
And the next morning
We all had the runs.
Next time you drink bug juice
And a fly drives you mad
He’s just getting even
‘Cause you swallowed his Dad.
