I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas

As we were in the car listening to Christmas music, the Brain and I heard a familiar song. 

I asked, "What makes him a hippo hero anyway?"

The Brain replied, "Maybe he wears a cape or something."

Christmas Joy

Overheard in my second grade classroom:

[little girl humming "Jingle Bells"] 

Me: E, you have a lovely voice, but please save it for music class.

E: I just can't hold my jingle in!
