I will never forget October 1984, in grade school music class we were singing the Name Game. I think the teacher wanted a change from the Hokey Pokey. When it came to me, I said ,"In honor of Halloween, let's try Witch." Witch, witch, bo.... The class started naively singing, not realizing the linguistic cliff I was leading them over until the B word came flying fortissimo from the mouths of thirty 12 year olds. The class was immediately silent with the exception of some derisive "ooooh!"s. The class stared at me scornfully. I lied and said I had no idea that would happen, and got sent out into the hall where I practiced the backspin until Music was over. At least I didn't suggest the word "duck."Thursday, October 25, 2007

I love this story. You make me chuckle. There are lots of names I would like to sing in the Name Game.
C- I am sure that your creative 'hang out with my wang out' semi-mischevious mind could come up with some doozies.
