For those of you who are ABBA fans, this will be funnier.
I was cooking dinner last night but I was afraid it would take too long to cook and be ready for the kids to eat before bed. I knew that we had some chicken tikka (a very mild Indian dish) left over from a dinner with my brother so I figured that it would be my fall back. After a while of cooking, the natives became restless and started asking about dinner.
Mary: Mom, what are we having for dinner?
Me: Well, if I can get it done, then we will have this turkey. If not, there is some chicken left over.
Mary: I will just have the chicken.
Me: Oh, yeah? Did you like it?
Mary: (singing) Chicken Tikka tell me whats wrong…
For those of you unfamiliar with the song, the actual lyrics are ‘Chiquitita tell me whats wrong’. Now I will never be able to listen to Chiquitita without thinking of Indian food!
It is not the first time that my kids have made up their own versions of ABBA songs, however, and strangely enough it always seems to center around food. About two years ago we went out to Dairy Queen with the grandparents and kids in tow. As we walked down the sidewalk I hear from behind me:
“Cause you are the Dairy Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen”
This Dancing Queen rendition (by I believe Mary once again) was accompanied by the appropriate amount of dancing.
