Gray Squirrel

Last night at dinner, Alex started singing a sweet song I'd never heard before:


Gray Squirrel
Gray Squirrel -- wag your tail!
Gray Squirrel
Gray Squirrel -- bushy tail!
(and so on, including cute little hand motions)



I let him sing for some time; his tiny voice was soft and sweet and although I could barely understand him, I loved it.

Then, like a needle scratching across a record, Evan announced in a loud, clear voice, "Alex, your squirrel just died and went to Heaven."

we do that song at camp! Only its ground squirrel! and the second part is wag your bushy tail!

Evan is a little stinker, can't wait to see you guys next month!

Sar, It could well be that Alex is singing your same song. You'll have to teach it to me so I can help him with it! :)
