If You're Happy And You Know It

Brianna has a CD with the song "If You're Happy and You Know It" that she listens to quite frequently and has started "singing" along with. Well, tonight she was singing it as best she could and clapping my hands for me. Her daddy heard her and thought he'd have a little fun with her so he started singing it too, only he added some improvised lyrics. He sang, "If you're happy and you know it, touch your nose," which she did. So, to see if she'd keep following directions the next time around he said "If you're happy and you know it, pull your ear." She did that one to. Warming up to his game for the next round Travis tried "kiss your Mom," for the action portion and sure enough Bree leaned over and kissed me every time. She was starting to laugh by this time. The next go Trav sang "If you're happy and you know it stick your tongue out." But, at that time she was only about 2 centimeters from my face, having just finished the "kiss your mom" verse so instead she ended up licking my face. That struck her as super hysterical so the next several minutes she spent licking my face whenever Daddy sang "stick out your tongue." Finally, Trav wrapped up his song with the verse "If you're happy and you know it tickle your Mom." Brianna didn't miss a beat and "tickled" me. But on the final pass Trav tried to trick her singing "If you're happy and you know it and you really want to show it, if you're happy and you know it tickle your DAD!" Smartie pants that she is that didn't fool her, she just leaned over and tickled him instead. It actually turned into quite a little excercise in listening and following directions.
