Oh Say Can You Seeeeeeeeeeeee

Ever since the kids' Veteran's Day assembly (7 excrucuating days ago) they have been bound and determined to learn "The Star Spangled Banner".

At first it was sweet.  I would sing a line and they would try it out.  Then as they felt confident (though maybe falsely) in their lyrics, they would beg to sing it alone.  Which went a little something like this

Abby: oh see can you seeeeee

Both: by the dawns early 

Abby: Ben.  Every time you sing with me I am going to start over.  Oh see can you

Both: seeeeeeeee

Abby:  Ben!!!!  Oh see can you....

This went on for a long time .  Like days.

So now we have most of the words.... Or at least the general gist.   "And the rocekts red blare the bombs bursting through air through and through the night somethingthatistillcan'tunderstand still there."

And this goes on like a track on repeat.  Every. Single. Car ride.   For the past 7 days.

Long story short?  I'm really starting to miss Taylor Swift.
