That Iain

My goodness, he is funny. Just now at lunch, for no reason at all:

Iain (nodding): Oh, we have a rope.
Me: What?
Iain (still nodding): Oh, we have a tractor, though.
Me: We do?
Iain (the nodding continues): And a spider, too.



There is a song that Pooh sings that goes a-like this:
Up-down, touch the ground,
Puts me in the mood,
Up-down, touch the ground,
In the mood for food.

Iain's version goes like so - and again, who knows why?:
Up-down, touch the ground,
Puts in me the moon,
Up-down, touch the ground,
In the mood for nuts.



And another song: the real words are "oats, peas, beans, and barley grow." Iain knows those words, and will sometimes sing them. But more often, he sings the words he made up. I like them better: "Oatsy, beansy, bonzy, bo."
