First Happy Meal After 2 Years, Oh My!
What is a 2 plus year old going to do when his grandma is a dietitian and his mom is a medical professional and elite runner? Does he have to expect to go through life without any “ JUNK” food?
Well, Luke had his first Happy Meal this week on his trip down to see Grandma Sandy and Grandpa George. I guess you could say that Mom could have packed a healthy lunch in a little compartmentalized container. But what fun is that when you are traveling 7 hours to see Grandma and Grandpa? And parents also need a break from the screaming kid in the back seat.
As I thought of their long trip south, I started to think of the song, “Jingle Bells”.
But when I thought about the line, “Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh” I thought to myself, who do you know who ever went to see Grandma in a horse driven sleigh? Gosh, even the Waltons didn’t do that because their grandparents lived with them. So I have decided to write a new up-dated version of Jingle Bells for my daughter and son-in-law who will have a different experience going to see Grandma for the holidays.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way.
Oh what fun it is to ride in a jam-packed car today
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
We are losing our minds as our little boy cries, oh what a miserable day
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to see the Golden Arches, heah!
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, jingle all the way
A Happy Meal is what we need and it will be okay.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells. jingle all the way
A happier, content child makes us not dismay
Jingle Bells, Jingle bells, jingle all the way
Luke got his meal, it was no big deal, so now no more delay
Let me hear you say,
HO HO HO
Merry Christmas
