Every Tuesday, Sebastian's school has All School Sing, which is pretty self-explanatory. It is also totally crazy. There is a group of 4 or 5 repressed rock-n-rollers accompanying the music teacher. They remind me of Matthew Broderick and his fellow teacher in Election.
The first time Dorian and I went, the cross country team did 2 laps around the audience which sits on the floor of the gym. That was the time that we learned our new favorite song, "Black Socks".
Today was totally out of control. The kids were supposed to get to taste test some cauliflower from everyone's favorite Walker Farm. But one teacher comes out with a phone pretending to talk to Dustin's daddy about why the weather conditions haven't been good enough to have enough cauliflower ready for the whole school. (The kids did not seem in the least bit disappointed by this news. Shock.) So instead, the music teacher starts wailing on the piano to herald "Will it float?" a rip off of the Letterman show. All the kids were hooting and hollering trying to guess if a head of cauliflower would float. It did. At various points in the program, the game was played with a baseball (yes), provolone cheese (no) and a bell (yes, for a short time). After the kids all did the chicken dance, the music teacher was calling for a chicken, but the cafeteria ladies did not have one.
Why didn't we do this when I was in school?
