http://www.relevantmagazine.com/slices/easter-pageant-goes-wonderfully-brilliantly-wrongFast forward to the 1:20ish mark for the best @#$@ moment from an Easter pageant ever (Note to self: don't use sparklers on set next to flammable scenery.)

And the guy keeps singing thru all the chaos! Rather impressive that the flames were out in less than a minute. Fast-acting people there. (Makes me wonder if they weren't sitting nearby with extinguishers just in case?)

(Makes me wonder if they weren't sitting nearby with extinguishers just in case?)This completely horrified me. There was not a lick of common sense of anyone in that building.If you are in a building, and it catches on fire, leave. Just leave. I kept thinking about those folks who died in the Station Night Club fire. If you did not exit that building within the first 90 seconds of the fire starting, chances were you did not leave alive.The singer should have stopped singing and asked everyone to leave in an orderly fashion. The guys with the fire extinguishers should have been standing by. (If it was even legal for them to thave pyrotechnics in that building in the first place!)"Jesus" was an idiot. You don't walk through flames, especially with a flowing robe on unless you really are the deity.
Today the boys and I went to the park since they had an early dismissal from school. As we were walking around the small lake, the boys got ahead of me and suddenly my middle child started yelling at a group of ducks, hissing, screaming, trying to scare them. I yelled at him to stop as I hurried to catch up.He said "But Mom, they're attacking another duck! They're picking on this duck and I'm trying to get them to leave it alone!" I got closer and at first glance it did look like they were harassing another duck as one mallard had another duck's brown neck in its beak. And then I took another look...and realized that the mallard was on top of this other duck and that's why we could really only see the head of the bottom duck and I realized what my innocent child took to be "attacking" was really "mating". I told him that's what his head and his facial expression changed from a combination of worry and outrage to blushing and giggling.

I listen to the radio on the way home and sometimes when I get there, while I'm preparing his dinner, I sing to my feline while changing some of the lyrics to reflect his species. The other day it was Alicia Keys and then I realized that the only time it's appropriate to sing, "This cat is on fire" is on E-hell!

Last night in fact. The funny part is my cat was sitting on the other side of the shower curtain caterwauling. I think he thinks I calling for help when I sing in the shower .
I do it to my dogs, too. The Eagle has a great laugh at some of my lyrics. Remember Pizza Bagel commercials? I made it a kennel time song to get the dogs into their kennels. They do it every time, too.
