"A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants." [a line from the Mary Tyler Moore show]...
...."That's what Grandpa says," giggled Brianna today at lunch (and then proceeded to repeat it several times this afternoon).
Ahh yes, the wisdom our parents bestow on our own children. Like this little gem my Grandpa taught me and which I shared with my second grade (?) class as part of an assignment to recite a poem:
"There was a little man,
Who had a little gun,
And through the fields he used to run.
With a belly full of fat
And a peacock hat
And a pancake tied to his bum"
[Author, sadly, unknown]
Now this begs the question...Dave, what little gems will you share with our grandchildren should we be blessed to have some in a couple decades?
