Little Girl Blue

While we were away in New York, Reilly stayed over at her grandma and grandpa’s house. One of the cuter stories that came out of that weekend follows:

When Shawn was a toddler, her mom used to sing her the song “Little Boy Blue.”

Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn.
The sheep's in the meadow, the cow's in the corn.
Where is the boy that looks after the sheep?"
He's under the haycock, fast asleep."
Will you wake him? "No, not I;
For if I do, he'll be sure to cry."

When Shawn’s mother (aka “Donna,” aka "Grandma") would say the line, “Will you wake him?" little Shawn would answer, “No, not I” and then her mother would finish the song.

Donna decided to continue that tradition this weekend by teaching Reilly “Little Boy Blue.”

However, when Donna sang the line, “Will you wake him?” Reilly would respond, “Yes! Wake him up!”
