The Wheels On the Bus
My family was sitting in the living room singing songs while I washed up the dinner dishes this evening. They sang a few favorites like "Popcorn Popping" and "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" among others. Then they started in on "The Wheels On the Bus".
Everyone: The wheels on the bus go ’round and ’round, ’round and ’round, ’round and ’round. The wheels on the bus go ’round and ’round, all through the town!
Everyone: The babies on the bus go…
Ethan: Poop, poop, poop!
*massive eruption of giggles*
Everyone: The mommies on the bus go…
Gideon: Don’t make me spank you!
*giggles turn to laughter*
Everyone: The mommies on the bus go…
Ethan: WOULD YOU KNOCK IT OFF ALREADY!
*laughter increases*
Everyone: The mommies on the bus go…
Gideon: I WILL BEAT YOU AND BEAT YOU IF YOU DON’T STOP IT RIGHT NOW!
By this time, everyone had started laughing so hard that it became impossible to continue the song any further. That, and because we try to keep the maniacal violence and references to child abuse in our childrens’ songs to a minimum. And really, once you’ve reached the peak of comic genius, why drag the evening back down to mediocrity?
why do kids think poop is soooooo funnY?

The family that laughs together forgives more easily, loves more freely, cares more deeply. You’re creating sweet memories.
