This was so cute I had to share.
Their grandfather being a train aficionado, my kids have been duly indoctrinated into all things train lore, including recordings of collected "train songs." My husband, ever mindful of his heritage, often subjects us to plays these recording at home or on long car trips. One of the songs is Patti Page's "Throw Momma From the Train":
Throw mama from the train a kiss, a kiss
Wave mama from the train a goodbye
Throw mama from the train a kiss a kiss
And don't cry, my baby, don't cry
How I miss that sweet lady with her old-country touch
Miss her quaint broken English called "Pennsylvania Dutch"
I can still see her there at the station that day
Calling out to her baby
as the train pulled away...
Well, my kids came up with their own version:
Throw Obama from the train,
Don't miss, don't miss...
Throw Obama from the train, say goodbye...
(Which then became Throw a bomba from the train...)
(And you thought kids had to watch "Sponge Bob Square Pants" to have any fun)
(Yes, it is all in fun, and they really are great kids, not violent, not disrespectful to president-elects, politicians, or others. Really)
