I love Ham!

My kids are cracking me up.

They spilled bubbles on the kitchen floor. So, they got the scrubby brush for the dishes and a rag and started mopping it up. Then Claire started singing, to the tune of "London Bridge,"
"Soap and water do the job
do the job
do the job
Soap and water do the job
Ol' Ham Lincoln!"

Charlotte and Gabe sang along until, eventually, Charlotte tried to suggest that our revered president's name was actually Abraham. Nope. Claire brushed off such a silly suggestion and went back to ol' Ham.

There is no telling at all - at all - how she came up with that closing phrase on the spot.

Precious. Plus, free mopping.

If I spilled bubbles in the kitchen, I would have made a slip and slide out of the floor. Did it with Crystal once to clean the bathroom floor in nanas house, no joke. ;)
