NS and I were finishing up a walk in the city park and getting back in the car to drive home. The parking lot overlooked a playground that had been taken over by a group of energetic school children. During the five minutes it took to pack the jogger in the trunk and situate NS in the car seat, a determined band of kids, led by a little girl with a big voice, sang continuously to the tune of "John Brown's Body":
"I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves
I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves
I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves
And this is how it goes."
(repeat indefinitely)
It was very effective.
Hmmm. Kids have a natural knack for coming up with things like that. Their creativity and organizational abilities really should be applauded!
