A Very Veggie ... Beyonce?

Elliot (formerly known as Bruce Lee) likes to sing ... a lot.  And sometimes he nails it.  He can sing We Are Young by FUN from beginning to end - flawlessly.  

I'm not even kidding.  

Perhaps that's not something a Mom should be proud of.

Perhaps I'll leave that issue for another post ... anyway ...

You may remember my post about Elliot singing "they call me Freda ... just like a waving PLAAAGGG"?

Well ... here's how things went down this morning on the way to school ...

Elliot is humming away happily and every once and a while breaking into words that I can't really make out, Charlotte is chattering away about who will be at daycare first - Betty or Jacob or Karen or Dilusha or Issac - enthralling conversation really, when Elliot says, "Mommy, do you know this song I'm singing?"

He proceeds to sing a few words which I can't really hear between his little voice and the loud traffic, but I recognize the tune so I say yes and start singing along with him "all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, now put your hands up, up in the club ..." (and you know  I did a little dance as I was walking).

And Elliot cuts me off with, "MOOOOMMMEEE, what are you saying???  You don't even know the right words!  That's not how it goes!"

So I laugh and say, "Yes I do ... I just said them - 'all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, now put your hands up, up in the club, hummm hummmm hummmm ... doin' my own little thing' " (still dancing).

Elliot stopped in his tracks, looked at me like I was an idiot and said, "Noooo...that's not it.  It goes like this, 'all the single lettuce, all the single lettuce, all the single lettuce, all the single lettuce':

It's about VEGETABLES!!"
