One of my guilty pleasures is watching Dancing With the Stars. It's corny, cheesy, pretty much a waste of perfectly good reading or sleeping time; but I love dancing, and it's usually pretty entertaining. Tonight I was reminded that Kool & the Gang's "Get Down On It" was the inspiration to a family favorite of ours, "Butt Cream On It"...you know the tune. Isn't this in every family's repertoire?
Not really sure when and how it began, but I think when j. was about 2 this became a favorite during particularly ouchy diaper changes....and has become an automatic melody hummed whenever the jar of Aquaphor comes out. ("Butt cream on it, uh, uh, butt cream on it...get on it.") During the show tonight, I watched and not until my lovely husband started singing our version did it even click....Oh, yeah!! That's the ORIGINAL version....the way it's supposed to sound.
We also have a "thankful box" that my MIL gave us last Thanksgiving. It's just a pretty box that houses a small spiral notebook and pencils for jotting down thankful thoughts. (along with a deck of cards and other random things that have found their way to this catchall now.) Today, I was looking through our spiral and found this lovely entry: "I am thankful for a funny wife."
My sweet J, Thankfully, someone sees through it all and ALWAYS brings humor to my life........
LOVE HIM!!! :)

ReplyDeleteYeah, I really do think it sounds better with the words "Butt cream on it". Just try it and you'll see.
