My Least Favorite Things

Today I was thinking about my Grandma. Which made me think of the Sound of Music. Which made me think of this song (because I'm kind of like that mouse in the Give a Mouse a Cookie book). It has no relevance to anything except it made me laugh. And I'm sure my Grandmother would consider it blasphemy, which is as good a reason as any to post it on the internet.

So without further ado, My Least Favorite Things - to be sung to the tune of My Favorite Things from The Sound of Music.

Raindrops while running and whiskers on women
Forgotten backpacks and one lost school mitten
Brown paper packages that aren’t for me
These are a few of my least favorite things

Cream colored carpet all covered in streudels
Alarm clocks and texting and kids demanding noodles
Wild geese that crap on my car as they sing
These are a few of my least favorite things

The cart at the Wal-Mart determined to crash us
My son when he’s constantly covered in rashes
School cancellations that last into spring
These are a few of my least favorite things

When the guinea pig bites
When the kid screams
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my in-laws aren’t here

And then I don’t feel so bad
