Daddies are Weird

Recently Hannah gave Bree and I a new CD full of fun, kid music. (Thank goodness, it's so easy to get tired of the same old kids songs...I mean Wheels on the Bus IS a classic but if I hear it one more time....)One of our favorite songs, which we hadn't heard before, is one called "My Daddy is Scratchy." It's a funny little song about daddies' beards and the lyrics say:

MY DADDY IS SCRATCHY
EACH DAY HIS BEARD GROWS
THOSE SHARP WHISKERS CATCH ME
ON CHEEK AND CHIN
MY FOREHEAD AND MY NOSE
MY DADDY HE’S TROUBLE (Whoo Whoo Whoo)
HE THINKS HE’S SO FASH (Yeah He’s So Fash)
HE LIKES TWO DAYS STUBBLE
BUT THAT MAKES MY FACE
BREAK OUT IN A RASH
AFTER HE SHAVES
HE’S SMOOTHE AND COOL
WE’RE FRIENDS ONCE MORE....

This made us laugh since Travis often has "two day stubble" syndrome. While we've never actually heard Brianna complain about it, or noticed her avoiding him when his whiskers are longer, we have recently noticed that several mornings right after he's shaved she stares at him a lot, makes googly eyes at him and asks to snuggle. :)

Later in the song the lyrics go:

MY DADDY HE TICKLES (Whoo Whoo Whoo)
HIS FACE IS SO WEIRD (He’s So Weird)
EACH MORNING HE PRICKLES
AND BY EVENING I CAN FEEL
HIS BEAR-EAR-EARD

And, sure enough Bree didn't miss that one. This evening as we were all driving along together she announced from the back seat (where she makes many of her proclamations) "Daddy is so weird!" Trav responded to her by saying "Oh yeah, well you're weird too." To which Bree came back with "NO WAY!"
