The following was heard emanating from the back of the minivan this morning.
"Buddy and Silvia sitting in a tree..."
I listened closely as it was Buddy who was singing. Pie was coaching, but Buddy was the prime mover and I was curious as to whom might be seated in the tree next to him.
"P-I-S-..."
Apparently Bud is not familiar with the finer points of the song so it was at this point both Hot Mom and myself did a bit of parental editing.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Bud!" began Hot Mom while gasping for air and looking around to make sure nobody from any neighboring cars were listening in. "It's K-I-S-S-I-N-G! With a K at the beginning."
"A K? Not a P?"
"Nope, definitely a K, Bud," clarified Hot Mom.
"Yeah, Bud," I began, "if you use a P instead of a K then you are saying that you and Silvia are..."
A backhand volley to the side of my head from Hot Mom.
"What were you saying, Daddy?"
"Ummm...nothing Bud. Just start with a K."
Disaster averted.
