I see London, I see France
Last night was Tatiana's AHG meeting. The leader had a really nice carefully prepared plan for stuff for the kids to do that was both fun and informative. The badge was on taking care of yourself, hygiene, going to the doctor, etc. At the end of the meeting, the kids colored paper-doll doctors and then colored a lab coat outfit and one of those head-lamp things they were. Then both were attached with tabs as paper-doll clothes are. It was hard to cut out the outfit, so many of the dolls didn't have clothes for a bit. Riley asked what Kristen's doctor was wearing and said it looked like she was wearing underwear. Riley was going on a bit about the underwear thing. So, I sang, "I see London, I see France. I see Kristen's doctor's underpants." The girls thought that was the funniest thing they ever heard. It was obvious that none of the girls had ever heard it before, and were filing it away for later use. The mothers weren't annoyed precisely, they were more thinking, "Oh, great! Now I have to listen to this a million times." I said, "Mommies, you are welcome." as a way of saying Oops. That song was song a great many times for the rest of the meeting. When I told Scotland he commented that probably none of the kids at the local elementary school had heard it since two of the girls at the meeting go to public school. So, soon all of Farmersville will have me to thank for the proliferation of that song. After the meeting, Kristen came over to play and her mommy said that the song is likely what they will remember from the meeting, not the carefully crafted activities.
