Daddy on the Bus

After listening to various nursery CD's and singing at our various clubs and classes, I think I must have adapted the lyrics of 'Wheels on the Bus' over the years. Basically, the verses that Anna and I sing include

'The driver on the bus goes moan, moan, moan.'
moan, moan, moan.
moan, moan, moan.
The driver on the bus goes moan, moan, moan
all day long!

The Daddy on the bus goes snore, snore, snore.
snore, snore, snore.
snore, snore, snore.
The Daddy on the bus go snore, snore, snore,
all day long!

However, Anna decided to adapt the lyrics a few nights ago.

Anna decided that she didn't want to eat her sweetcorn but, instead of just pushing it to one side of her plate, she elected to throw each piece of sweetcorn on the carpet. After politely reminding Anna that sweetcorn didn't really belong on the carpet and it having no effect, James had to put on his stern voice (not heard very often at all) and tell Anna not to throw her food on the floor.

It did stop her from throwing the sweetcorn on the floor but Anna was determined to have the final word so looked at her Daddy and started to sing her own version of 'Wheels on the Bus'. Instead of 'The driver on the bus goes moan, moan, moan,' Anna started to sing 'Daddy on the bus goes Moan, Moan, Moan all day long!!

James and I couldn't help it but burst out laughing for a long time (bad parents for setting a bad example!), much to Anna's delight! After picking ourselves up off the floor, we then thought about life with Anna the Teenager. That will be interesting!
