Six kids?

Um... ok. It has come to my attention that perhaps my little self-introduction to the right has confused some people.

Time for some clarification.... post haste!

No, I'm not married. No I don't have six kids. Nor do I work in a button factory (I know... shock, horror, gasp!).

This little intro is actually the beginning to a kid's song that I like called "Button Factory". The idea is that you get all the children in a group and you all "say" this song together. Here's a bit how it goes....

Hi, my name's Joe,

I've got a wife and six kids and I work at the Button Factory.

One day, the boss says to me "Joe, are you busy?"

I say "No".

He says "Joe, push this button with your ____ _____"

So I did!

Where you see _____ ______ is where you insert some action words.... like Left Finger, Right Toe, Nose, Mouth, Chest, Big Fat Arse etc. etc. and the kids need to pretend they're pushing a button repeatedly with that part of their body! The children keep doing this, while the song continues...

So I did!

The kids now add this extra "button pushing" movement to their first. This continues for 4-5 times.... until the kids are pushing buttons will all parts of their bodies and look completely retarded...! And then, the last verse goes...

Hi, my name's Joe,

I've got a wife and six kids and I work at the Button Factory.

One day, the boss says to me "Joe, are you busy?"

I say "YES!!!".

I hope that's cleared it up for some people...!
