Tauntings of Comfort and Joy
This morning, Margaret was in a bit of a bad mood. The reason escapes me now, but she came down to breakfast decidedly out of sorts. Ever the sensitive one, six (almost seven) year old Marie began to sing:
"Deck the halls with mel-an-choly, Mar-ar-ar-ar-ar-ar-ar-ar-gret!"
How funny! What a great sense of humor. I can only imagine the response Marie would have received from a couple of my children. I hope Margaret has a better day tomorrow.

LOL, Christine! The thing about Marie is that she does these things with such good humor (usually bouncing around), everyone always has to laugh--including Margaret (no, especially Margaret who taught Marie everything she knows about cracking a joke!) : ) They are funny kids!

There's nothing like a funny little sister for comfort...

Too funny! So glad it helped snap that melancholy right out of the house! LOL!

Can I borrow that song for myself? I think that would be the cure for any bad mood.

What wit! This brought a smile to my day. We all feel like that towards our siblings at moments, don't we? ;)

Too funny! Nothing like a child to keep one from taking herself to serious! :)
