11/30/03 "Five Golden Wings"

 

Last night on our drive into town we saw a few homes decorated for the

holidays. I asked Ananda with a chuckle, "Do you know what you used

to say? You used to say 'Kissmiss.'" She laughed, "That's funny!

But now I'm gwown up and now I say 'KWISSmiss.'"

 

Then she started to sing her rendition of The Twelve Days of

Kwissmiss, and I could not contain my laughter to save my life.

While her ear's interpretations of the lyrics could only barely be

considered English, they sure were cute as could be, and some of them

were downright hilarious. The only trouble was that every time I

busted up laughing she would scream at me to stop (which didn't work,

unfortunately), Zacky would start squawking, and then Jim would

eventually say, "Kheyala!"

 

"Okay, okay," I told everybody, finally deciding to behave myself.

Ananda resumed her song, "Four birds a-licking..." But that was it.

I lost it again! I laughed riotously, causing Ananda's protest and

Jim's re-gripping of the steering wheel and yelling, "Kheyala!" with

even more urgency, more oomph, and for some reason, the whole thing

made me laugh so hard I nearly peed in my pants! Fortunately, we

were saved by The Bell.
