Biscuits Anyone?

You know how things you learned as a child come back to haunt you later on in life? I'm not talking about some scary or evil thing...just stupid things..such as campfire songs.

Or, maybe not campfire songs, but a song that someone once taught you that, try as hard as you might, you CANNOT erase it from your memory. It uses up valuable memory space and waits to surface at inopportune times.

Like when you're cooking...

Ever heard this one?

Grandma's cooking in the cellar
Oh Lordy can't you smell her
Burnin' biscuits on her durndled dirty stove
In her eye there is some matter
That keeps dripping in the batter
And she whistles while slggghhhhh (make the sound of slurping something) runs down her nose

Down her nose
Down her nose
She whistles while the slgggghhh runs down her nose
In her eye there is some matter
That keeps dripping in the batter
And she whistles while the slggghhhh runs down her nose

I think I've lost my appetite....

Well, Mrs. Q that is a lovely picture of your grandmother - haha!

I just remembered this one (and couldn't resist singing it for my kids the other day...)

Gobs and gobs of
Greasy grimy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Itty Bitty birdies' feet
French fried eyeballs
Swimming in a pool of blood
And I forgot my spoon!

That may be how you felt about your cabbage rolls??

I'm so mature. And yes, you can thank Girl Scout camp for that one.
