We've come to the realization that our kids probably listen to too much Weird Al. Our youngest four can't get enough of him, and I must admit (with my head appropriately shamefully bowed) that "Weasel Stomping Day" and "The Night Santa Went Crazy" always make me laugh. But the other day Banana and I were talking about different Bible characters and she was telling me the story of Samson, who really impresses her because "he had these really huge, big muscles". This is what followed:
(Five year old hands on skinny five year old hips) "Delilah would NOT have tricked Samson if those Canadians hadn't told her to!"
"Canadians?! What Canadians?!"
"The Canadians that poisoned her and made her turn evil so she'd trick Samson." (Duuuhh, Mom!)
"Honey, there weren't any Canadians in Bible times. It was the Philistines who captured Samson, and no one poisoned Delilah."
"Sigh. The Philistines worked for the Canadians, Mom. And that's who poisoned Delilah so she'd want to trick Samson into telling her about his hair."
"Where in the world did you get the idea that the Canadians were behind all of this?"
"Mom! The Canadians are idiots! That means they're evil. Evil people poison other people and trick them into being bad!"
"Sigh. 'J'! Please put in different music. Let's listen to some Vivaldi or Mozart."

I LOVE "THE NIGHT SANTA WENT CRAZY"!!! It always makes me giggle. Haven't heard Weasel Stomping Day... We'll have to find that one.
