A Donut and a Song

Henry and I went on a very cold Friday morning to meet Declan, his mom Heather and another little boy named Oscar at a local park. When we arrived, the park was still empty so ducked into the cafe across the street for a coffee. Henry quickly spied the donuts and made his wishes known with an emphatic "I NEEEEEEED cake". When ignored, he became more specific "I NEEEED a chocolate donut". Still ignored he shoved his little hand under the sneeze guard to pluck one from the plate. I agreed to get him one if he would share it with mommy. Henry looked at me for a minute and stated "Mommy no need donut". "Why doesn't Mommy need a donut Henry?". Without missing a beat, he explained "Mommy belly" and pointed at mine.
"That may be Henry, but you need to be a good share-er". Henry looked at me with his eyes wide, "Henry share with Pops!"

Guess Pop's belly doesn't disqualify him from donut sharing.

Glad we could provide comic relief for the woman behind us in line. Her coffee almost came out her nose she was laughing so hard.

Here is a video from the coffee shop. The song Henry is singing is "Do Your Ears Hang Low".
Here are the actual lyrics.

Do your ears hang low
Do they wobble to and fro
Can you tie them in a knot
Can you tie them in a bow
Can you throw them o'er your shoulder
Like a continental soldier
Do your ears hang low
(FASTER! repeat FASTER! repeat)

Henry's favorite part is the FASTER! and then singing it louder and faster until it sounds like really bad punk rock karoke.

BTW, I did eat part of the donut. So there.
