My son likes to sing songs. Quietly and to himself most of the time. So when he does sing loud enough for me to hear, I stop what I am doing and try to listen without catching his attention. Sometimes it is as simple as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. But other times, he takes something he has heard and makes it his own. Last night I was treated to two of the best he has ever come up with.
"We're off to see the Lizard, The Wonderful Lizard of Oz." and "Monkey in the Rear"
I had sung the real quip from the wizard of oz earlier in the day. At the time, he asked me who the Lizard of Oz was and as I explained it, I told him it was the Wizard. He obviously liked his version better.Monkey in the Rear? No idea. It was kind of The Farmer in the Dell tune. It was hard, but we tried not to laugh. Once he knew we would laugh, it would have been louder and there would be other versions. Since we were in the middle of a restaurant, I didn't think it would be a good idea to hear what else that monkey was going to do.
