We got to the church for the last local quiz around 8. There were a lot of people in the kitchen... working away at what began to seem like endless stacks (heaps?) of potatoes. Peeling them, chopping them up, and covering them with cheese and oil and herbs. I got a job peeling.
Anna (another peeler) and I joked around for a while. Suddenly Antion goes, "We need a song about potatoes!!" He is a firm believer in a song for every occasion.
As I always fall for it when he says things like that, I suggested, "How about the Cheeseburger song? Just insert potato instead of cheeseburger." Wouldn't you know it, he took me up on that suggestion. (And I ought to add that although I was trying to roll my eyes through all these songs, it was coming out more like laughter. I'm funny that way. *shrugs*)
Then, he and Sam moved onto their specialty -- The Bumblebee Tuna jingle. *rolls eyes* Except, of course, it was Bumblebee Potato. When they finished with that, Josclin said, "Guys, you know, it ought to be Idaho Potato, not Bumblebee Potato. That doesn't make any sense!"
So they sang it again.
Josclin: "AAAAH! What have I done?"
With no ideas from any of us girls, Antion launched into The Hairbrush song. (We're big on the old VeggieTales, I guess. =) )
Except, it was a little improvised. It went something like this.
Larry: "Oh, where is my hairbrush? Oh where is my hairbrush? Oh,
where,
oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh, where, oh,
where, oh,
where oh, where ... is my hairbrush?"
"Antion is in the kitchen peeling potatoes.
"Sam enters the scene.
Shocked and
slightly embarrassed at the sight of Antion in a towel, Sam picks up a knife and begins to chop..."
"Oh here are the potatoes. Oh here are the potatoes. Oh here oh here oh here oh here oh here ... are the potatoes!"
Narrator: "Having heard his joyous proclamation, Anna enters
the scene. Shocked and slightly embarrassed at the sight of
Antion in a towel, Anna regains her composure and comments ..."
"Get back to work Antion!!"
"Antion is taken aback. The thought had never occured
to him.
Get to work? What would this mean? What will become of him? What
will become
of his potato? Antion wonders ..."
"I must get back to work. I must get back to work. I must I must I must I must I must I must I must... get back to work!"
"Having heard his wonderings, Narie enters the scene.
Shocked and quite embarrassed [and I was turning red thinking about it!] at the sight of Antion in a towel, Narie regains her composure and..."
my addition: "Throws something at him."
Antion: "To which he responds, 'This is the last potato. This is the last potato. The last the last the last the last the last the last the LAAAAAAST... potato!"
Another lady: O_o "It IS?"
Antion: "Erm, no. That was just for the song."
And, I need to go .... but I would like to mention that all of my siblings did quite well at this quiz and I am proud. ^_^
