One thing I remember like it was yesterday from my childhood, was that my mom was always singing. She would sign this or that, or take the tunes of songs and add lyrics… even my dad would sing a verse of a song that pertained to something that was about to happen or was happening. I remember this so vividly because I picked up on both of the behaviors.
Today I was using the tune of Santa Clause is coming to town to sing about street sweepers (you better watch out…..you’ll be cleaned up by a strrreeeet swweeeeeper). Yes, I have boys. Well, this turned into singing the real version of the song and that erupted a half an hour at least of two boys sitting on the rug listening to me sing Christmas songs. Jingle Bells, Jingle Bell Rock, Rudolph, Chestnuts Roasting, etc…..
Thanks mom and dad for giving me a half an hour of sweet boys this afternoon!
