O.K. I kid, and that’s probably such an obscure reference that only about three DJers are going to laugh — or even giggle.
I hate to explain a joke, but:
Children of a certain Christian bent grew up singing, “If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands!” and then you’d clap your hands. The song would progress to silly lengths — stomp your feet, wiggle your ears, flap your arms, etc.
Why was this funnier when I started typing it, as opposed to now?
My point — and yes, like Ellen, I do have one — well, I forgot my point. Sorry. My bad.
But beside the point, Relevant has an interesting essay on taking a break — be it the Sabbath or your own private time. Whatever your approach to life, do you schedule breaks? Naps, maybe? Or just quiet time alone?
Oh do love my rests! I call them “book breaks” when I read, or just good old, “I’m going upstairs to rest” Sometimes I just daydream for half an hour, sometimes I get in a good snooze. This is relegated to the weekends as I my working office isn’t equipped with a cozy bed . But I’m working on that!
Wouldn’t that be great? A place to steal 20 or so minuets of shut-eye?
Puppy picture inspires this, from my FB update of the other day:
If you love your dog as much as you love your God, please read: http://eternal-earthbound-pets.com
Saw this. LOVE it.
Also, I am no longer asked to teach workshops for a certain organization because the last time I did I started each class singing:
If you’re stupid and you know it, there’s the door
If you’re stupid and you know it, there’s the door
If you’re stupid and you know it,I don’t want you in my class
If you’re stupid and you know it, there’s the door
Apparently, some of the Phds were offended….however, after several years of people not reading the course description for comprehension, I was more offended.
I love this renewal of the old kids’ hymns. We, of course, on the way to and from church but outside the attention of our parents, wrote a whole buncha lyrics: If you’re happy and you know it, let a fart (let a fart!); if you’re happy…you get the idea.
If You’re Happy and You Know It is a Christian song? We sang it in primary school all the time.
It was in my church. We also substitued “clap your hands” to “say amen!”
Ohhhhh I remember that now! Wow. That was a long time ago.
My firstborn used to sing, “if you’re happy in your nose, clap your hands”
Your girls sound adorable, Vegas.
Kind of want to drive to Vegas’ house and give them Halloween candy. But I bet, if they do this sort of thing, they’ll be out and getting enough on their own today.
Well, now that you mention it…
That’s it. I’m on my way over to pick these dolls up. How adorable.
We will be loaded down with the candy, the way it should be.
EXTRA ADORABLE!!
EVEN better. When we were teenagers — and far from the adults in our world — we used to sing, “I’ve got that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my pants” (WHERE?) “Down in my pants, down in my pants…” etc. We thought we were pretty funny and edgy.
Ahahahahahahaa. Susan, I love you.
And I love you back.
Awww. Tender moment.
