Mar. 17, 2009 - An Irish Bow Tie
He got me. Sometimes my son comes out with something that catches me off guard and has me on the floor with laughter.
This morning his band is playing in the festival. He asked if he could wear my bow tie. (I have one on loan from a band gig I did where we all wore bow ties.) I said yes.
A few minutes later he came downstairs fixing the tie and told me I should kiss it…because they say “it’s nice, you know, to kiss your bow…” And of course he said it in a perfect Irish accent.
Yes it’s a groaner, but I admit I cracked up. This is a line from one of our favourite Christmas songs:
It’s nice, you know, to kiss your beau
while cuddlin’ under the mistletoe.
It’s Christmas in Kilarney, with all of the folks at home!
