Vacation with toddlers

[Judy G. Russell]

I just got back from a week at Disney's Hilton Head resort where I discovered the real reason why someone without kids should NOT go on vacation with toddlers (my nephews are 4 years and 19 months old). It's that they have an almost unlimited repertoire of catchy songs (good morning George) that you will end up humming (the bunny... the bunny... oh I ate the bunny) for days afterwards (we are the pirates who don't do anything).

I can just see myself (everybody's got a water buffalo) trying to explain (Barbara Manatee... you are the one for me) this to my co-workers (you are his cheeseburger) or worse to my students (If my lips ever left my mouth, packed a bag and headed south, that'd be too bad, I'd be so sad) in the months to come (I'm a viking! And I've come to take your land, oh yes! I've come to take your land, and I've come to burn your crops and steal your horses. And I've come to ... step on your chickens! And soil your quilts)...
