Design by Jenna




            My daughter LOVES arts and crafts.  In school she made a paper mask of a female skull.  She is quite proud of it and so wanted me to have my own skull, which she tried to make identical to her own.



            She decided that when we boarded the bus this morning, we would hold up our masks over our faces.  She made up lyrics on the way to the bus stop and sung them to the tune “Carol of the Bells”

            She made me learn her song before the bus came so that we could sing the song before we held up our masks.  I learned the song but told her that we would not be able to sing its entirety before boarding the bus.  And so she sung only the last line as we held up our masks.  Our bus driver laughed.

            Twin Skeletons, Twin Skeletons
            Found here and there
            Twin Skeletons, Twin Skeletons
            Both have yellow hair

            Twin Skeletons, Twin Skeletons
            Both wear a flower
            Twin Skeletons, Twin Skeletons
            Together we have power

            Twin Skeletons, Twin Skeletons
            Each wearing braces
            Twin Skeletons, Twin Skeletons
            We have skulls for faces

Okay, maybe it’s not exact, and the tune did change a bit as she sang.  But you get the jest.

            I love my daughter’s enthusiasm.
