All you hungry children, come and eat it up!

Captain Kangaroo helped me learn the days of the week with this song:



Today is Monday

Monday -- string beans

All you hungry children, come and eat it up!
Today is Tuesday

Tuesday -- spaghetti

All you hungry children, come and eat it up!
Today is Wednesday

Wednesday -- soup

All you hungry children, come and eat it up!
Today is Thursday

Thursday -- roast beef

All you hungry children, come and eat it up!
Today is Friday

Friday -- fresh fish

All you hungry children, come and eat it up!
Today is Saturday

Saturday -- chicken

All you hungry children, come and eat it up!
Today is Sunday

Sunday -- ice cream

All you hungry children, come and eat it up!



It's probably time to update it for the foodie generation:



Today is Monday
Monday -- hummus

All you hungry children, come and eat it up!

Today is Tuesday
Tuesday -- feta
All you hungry children, come and eat it up!

Today is Wednesday
Wednesday -- edamame

All you hungry children, come and eat it up!

All you hungry children, come and eat it up!

All you hungry children, come and eat it up!

All you hungry children, come and eat it up!

All you hungry children, come and eat it up!



The hungry grown children and I are gradually adjusting to sharing the Nest Formerly Known as Empty for the summer. Seems I forgot to change the locks on the condo. Maybe the guys had super-sized bread crumbs to mark the trail.



A six year-old student progressed to reading the story of Hansel and Gretel aloud to me this week. The story seems so deeply woven into our culture that I forget some children are encountering it for the very first time.
