About 10 years ago, on a long drive home, with 7 kids in the car, my kids and I wrote a ditty (actually, two). The ride had been very stressful and was descending into outright negativity. Someone had to go to the bathroom and no one wanted to stop the car, the kids were fighting with each other and yes, calling each other names, ...
I came up with the idea of asking them the most ridiculous food combinations they could think of. Everyone really got into it. Then we started composing together.
"I like peanut butter pizza, chocolate covered meatballs,
chili flavored cereal, when topped with eggplant milk.
I like cheese puffs dipped in saur kraut, and green bean ice cream, too.
But there's one thing that I don't like...
And that one thing is YOU!"
The kids really loved the ironic tone of the song. To this day, when things are descending into negativity I will start singing this ditty. And they all join in, lustily.
