kids Indians

Posted December 8, 2010 • * one comment •

At Max’s school (and I suspect everyone else’s too), they don’t sit “Indian style” anymore. It’s called “criss-cross applesauce.”

For the last few days he’s been singing a song nonstop with the tune of “Ten Little Indians.” Today I wasn’t paying attention to the words and I asked what song it was, because clearly if they can’t sit “Indian-style” they can’t sing about Indians either.

The song IS the same tune, but these are the words:

There’s January, February, March and April
May, June, July and August
September, October, November and December
And those are the months of the year

The damn thing WILL NOT LEAVE MY HEAD.
