Fragment #1 – Irreverence in action

A few weeks ago, I was sitting in the dining room with the girls and my mom, and Rhys burst into song.  This isn’t at all unusual, but the lyrics surprised me:  “Oh, how I love Jeeeeesus…” repeated over and over.  After establishing that it was a real song, I had to think fast about how to defuse the situation without stepping on mom’s toes (she being the source of such, um, exposures).

I’m not sure I quite got the melody (it came out a little atonal even though I followed Rhys’s lead), but we sang it over and over with revised lyrics—instead of Jesus we sang about random things we like, the majority of which happened to be in my line of sight (e.g., “Oh, how I love maaaaarshmallows…”)  It had us all laughing, even my mom.  It may have been polite laughter, but I’m tallying it in the Win column, regardless.

See, folks, it’s not just a blog name…
