On the way home from the ski hill on Christmas eve a song came on the radio in the truck. Bob and Doug McKenzie singing the 12 days of Christmas. (if you were raised in a cave see the link below)

Now I have heard this song every year for many years and it always makes me smile but I was totally caught off guard by the kids reaction to it.
The lyrics look like this (they only get as far as 8 items)
8 comic books,
7 packs of smokes,
6 packs of two-four ,
5 golden tuques,
4 pounds of
back bacon ,
3 French toasts,
2
turtlenecks,
and a beer in a tree
The boys were cracking up at the 5 golden tuques. They said it over and over and over again. My oldest said "That part is so funny I am actually crying with laughter" and he was! He was doubled over laughing and tears were streaming down his face. All the way home they sang it - over and over and like the excellent mom I am I tuned it right out.
That is until the half an hour mark - I tuned back in and heard what they were really singing.
"Five golden toots"
Oh boys and their potty humor ......... But if you listen closely it does sound sort of like toots
