Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 24, 2024

Be kind to your friends in the swamp, where the weather is very very damp……

That’s very cute.

Nothing like being embarrassed by your parents when your a little kid.

My Mom’s version:”Well, you may think that this is the end, well, it is!”

Madeline definitely has a lot of awesome moments.

Be kind to your web footed friends,

For that duck may be somebody’s mother

She lives in a hole in a swamp

Where the weather is always damp

You may think that this is the end:

Well it is, but to prove that we’re all liars

We’re going to sing it again,

But only this time we will sing a little higher

(Repeat as many times as you like (or stand) rising in pitch with each repeat.)

Last verse :

Be kind to your web footed friends,

For that duck may be somebody’s mother

She lives in a hole in a swamp

Where the weather is always damp

You may think that this is the end:

Well, it is!

Got you covered.

BE KIND TO YOUR FRIENDS IN THE SWAMP, WHERE THE WEATHER IS VERY, VERY DAHMP

After dining at a southwestern establishment in the Adirondacks complete with mariachi band, while everyone was waiting outside for the grandparents to finish smoking their cigarettes before the drive home, my brother who doesn’t know how to play the harmonica, pulled a harmonica out of his pocket and proceeded to rapidly breath in and out through the instrument making a bit of a ruckus while stomping his foot while his son danced the dance of “his people” much to the chagrin of the restaurant patrons looking at us through the window.

His teen aged daughter was mortified

See what you started, MOM?

☺️☺️❤️

I’m waiting for the day that manhole cover collapses and they sue the city, cuz it will surely be the city’s fault.

If only Petey had been there to see Mom dance in public!

I love Alice’s Mom. My mom was similar; she would amuse herself over our heads.

Alice blushing! Perfect!

Oooo, and bring Petey and his oboe, too! I don’t know that embarrassing Alice makes up for all the tantrums, but it’s no doubt fun to try. I’d love to see Petey’s shoebox diorama of the concert.

I see where Alice gets her dancing skills : )

My mom was young when she had me and my 2 sisters. She was delightfully wacky. I remember her putting on Elvis records and Fats Domino and we would all dance. I miss her silliness and her sense of humor.
