Guess This Song, Ma

You know that your child is hitting that obnoxious, teenage boy stage when he claims that he has the ability to play a song on his…toenails – uuuuhhhmmmm…nasty!

You get confirmation of your new-found knowledge when he actually begins tap away, very deliberately, upon the tops of his toes… and then at the end of the “song” asks if you recognized the tune!

Sadly, I found myself playing into his delusion by answering…”Mary Had A Little Lamb?”

Apparently I’m not very musically inclined, as he corrected me by humming the tune “Jingle Bells”…It is, after-all, the end of June. How could I have missed that one?!
