I would like to dedicate this song to my darling Cooper...

Tonight I "read" a book to the kids that consisted of silly new lyrics to familiar tunes. When I came to this song I immediately thought of Cooper. I love this little boy so gosh darn much and this song only made me love him more. I'm sure the days I am dealing with these "happy moments" I feel more like screaming than singing... but today isn't one of those days, and today I am thoroughly grateful for my little menace.

I'm a Menace
(to the tune of "Frere Jacques")

I'm a menace
I played tennis
In my house
In my room
Didn't know a racket.
Could hit a lamp and crack it.
I smell doom
In my room!

Life is rocky
I played hockey
Against Clyde
While inside
Scored- and broke a window
Now I feel the wind blow
While inside
Gotta hide!

I was naughty
Did karate
I showed Ben
In the den
Thanks to all my chopping
We're VCR-shopping
For the den
Once again

I'm athletic
It's pathetic
Mom gets sore
More and more
Though it's aggravating
Let's both go ice-skating
Kitchen floor
Fun galore!
