A duck song

J loves the "6 Little Ducks" nursery rhyme. We sing it to him all the time. I sing the main part, and H does the "quack, quack, quack" bit. And J laughs and laughs. Lots of fun! Even when he is crabby, this routine can usually get a giggle or two out of our dear little boy.

H has a day off today. J is teething and grumpy. He was inconsolable for part of the day. We took him for a ride in the car to give ourselves a bit of a rest. But he screamed. And H got increasingly frustrated with traffic congestion. It was not the least bit relaxing, really. And as we were repeatedly cut off in traffic, with J screaming at the top of his lungs, we sang:

T: ... He led the others with a
H: Quack, quack, quack
T: a
H: Quack, quack, quack
T: a
H: Quack, quack, quack
T: He led the others with a
H: Don't slow down! What's the matter with you?! You stupid moron!!
T: No; that is not what the duck said.
H: Well, it would be if the other ducks were all idiots!
T: No.
H: Quack, quack, quack
