A Bushel and a Peck
I like to break out in spontaneous song and dance – Mike’s used to it, so I don’t get much of a reaction from him, though my Elevator Dance does get a smirk from time to time (think Ashley Simpson on SNL). He did recently note that I haven’t been singing the same campy songs that I used to, so I dusted off an old favorite that I thought my grandma made up but is really from Guys & Dolls.
For almost 30 years Grandma has been getting all the credit for being the lyrical genius behind A Bushel and a Peck, but apparently she’s just been stealing Frank Loesser‘s thunder.
Damn Grandma is a liar. Next you’re going to tell me she didn’t make up Lets All Sing Like The Birdies Sing, either!

That is adorable! What a cute song and I think it is great that you walk around and randomly break out in song. Makes life more fun.
