I took my daughter to the chiropractor to have her back adjusted (which happens quite frequently, since she is a dancer). My son came along. As is typical, he got bored. "Mama, can I go out there?" He pointed to a hall-like area that connected several offices in the complex.
"Sure," I said. I could easily see him through the glass windows. I figured he would run or jump or make funny faces, which is what he usually does. But no. Do you know what he did? He started singing, "Jolly Old Saint Nicolas" at the top of his lungs! And it was loud. The acoustics in that area were like a concert hall!
I went out to bring the little rock star in. "Bubba, I'm sure people are trying to work. You need to keep it down!"
He pointed to a lady who was standing at the door of the other office watching him. "Why is she staring at me?"
I tried not to laugh. "Probably because she thinks you're crazy for singing a Christmas song in the middle of May."
"But Mama, I'm a kid. And kids are supposed to sing Christmas songs in May!"
Is it okay if I sing Christmas songs in May?
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Sure, Janie! You can sing whatever you want!
DeleteLOL I love his logic!
ReplyDeleteHe certainly has a mind of his own!
DeleteKid logic. Can't argue with it. Besides, he could be a budding rock star.
ReplyDeleteIt shows he feels good enough (or bored enough) to sing (or was he trying for attention?).
He just marches to the beat of his own drum. He does whatever he feels like doing.
DeleteI agree with Bubba. Christmas is such a joyous feeling that can just plain overtake you any time of year. ;) Sing!! Sing!!
ReplyDeleteHe had a great time doing it!
DeleteHe's right, you know. Along with life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, we are guaranteed the right to break into Christmas carols whenever our hearts feel like it~
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great to live in America? LOL!
DeleteJust wonderful Sherry.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Glad you liked it!
Delete*LOL* Christmas songs are joy and meant for any time!
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's a shame we only him them once a year!
Deletehaha just preparing for 7 months time
ReplyDeleteRight - making sure he knows his stuff!
DeleteI laughed at his ending answer. Both great and true.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to be a kid!
DeleteHaha! Aww Bubba, you're a kid, You can sing Christmas songs anytime that you want. :0)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he will! ;)
DeleteThose songs do get people in a happy mood.
ReplyDeleteThat's right. And he's just keeping the Christmas spirit going all year!
DeleteSpread the cheer all throughout the year
ReplyDeleteYou've gotta love that kid. (I bet you have to hug him a lot.)
ReplyDeleteYes, he gets plenty of hugs!
DeleteLOL! Kids can get away with the craziest things...
ReplyDeleteYes. I'm sure if I tried that, I'd be locked away in a mental institution right now!
DeleteHaha, I would never mind, if ever..Jolly Old St. Nicolas is my favorite Christmas carol. He can sing it again and again in May. :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should come over for a visit, and I'll let him give you a personal concert of his performance of Jolly Old St. Nicolas!
DeleteLOL, I like Bubba's logic.
ReplyDeleteHe certainly is a funny guy!
