The Cub has been going to school dances, and the Chicken Dance is a big fave with the grade 3 set. They particularly like belting out the lyrics: "I don’t wanna be a chicken, I don’t wanna be a duck! So I shake my butt like Donald Duck!" Admittedly not a masterly lyric, but of course it gives little grade 3 boys a chance to wiggle their butts while giggling hysterically. Tonight I was working upstairs when I head him singing his song downstairs, although I couldn’t make out the lyrics. Then he and Mrs Piper burst out laughing, and I heard her say, “Go sing it for Daddy.” The Cub arrived upstairs, red tie over his tee-shirt and said, “I have a song for you, Daddy.” Then he began: "I don’t wanna be a chicken, I don’t wanna be a duck, \ So I shake my butt like Donald Trump!" \ \ I have no idea where that one came from. However, he told me I was to post it on the Internet for my imaginary friends. ---

Tell him that “rump” is a better rhyme than “butt”. Even “hump” would fit. ---

> [@Northern\_Piper](#): > > The Cub has been going to school dances, and the Chicken Dance is a big fave with the grade 3 set. it’s a cute story!. But what’s up with 8 year olds going to dances at school? That’s a good 5-6 years younger than my generation did it. I’m really surprised. Now, yeah,…I’m approaching retirement age, but am I so totally out of touch with the modern world? ---

[Maybe he’d like an **ITMFA** pin to wear to school.](https://itmfa.myshopify.com/) I wore one to work yesterday, but _nobody_ knew what it meant. ☹ ---

> [@Spoons](#): > > The Cub sees us as “imaginary friends”? Dates back to his early days when he was trying to figure out how I could have friends that I’ve never met. Plus, if he were to chat about y’all at school, I think it better that he not tell his teacher that “Daddy has lots of Doper friends.” :eek: ---

Surprised me too at the beginning. ---

Yes, that was my impression as well. Especially for a Canadian school. Too much to explain.
