Broken Glass

I told you before that the 'tism has warped our humor a bit. The truth is, mine has always been a bit twisted. My mom's second husband--the only one I still call my step-dad--is a goofy guy. I remember when I was little that he would change the lyrics to songs ala Weird Al.

But it's not just that. I love to laugh, so I'm pretty easily amused. Garret seems to have inherited my love of all things silly. We crack up together on a daily basis. Sometimes B even joins in our giggles (he has THE BEST belly laugh).

Over Memorial Day weekend, we planted our first family garden. While preparing the soil, I noticed odd bits of trash mixed in and warned Garret to dig (or play) cautiously. Among the junk were several pieces of broken glass. I mentioned to Garret that the song from the teen show "Victorious" popped into my head. He smiled, and for several days we both walked around singing the silly song titled, "Broken Glass."

One morning before school, I searched for the song on YouTube and was rewarded with many different versions. This one is our favorite because it not only talks about the broken glass "sand-uh-wich" that we love to sing about at the top of our lungs, but also includes the line, "It's fun to squeeze your mother's face."

In the middle of our streak of singing this song, Garret pointed out that it could be Braden's song since he's so good at breaking glass. Oh frustration-induced rages, how you impact us all. But anyone who has ever worked with or hung out with B knows that the biggest sign of affection he bestows is  the face squeeze. It's a little unnerving at times, since you can never be sure if he's about to squeeze you or slap you. But we know this is how he shows us love, so we tend to offer up our cheeks.

So I've decided to share our sense of humor. Here's the song, complete with lyrics. Enjoy and for heaven's sake laugh!
