We arrive to babysit. Corbeau, in a benevolent mood, grants us an encore performance of a show recently given with his Montessori classmates at school: “Kumbaya we are working, kumbaya we are peaceful, kumbaya we are reading, kumbaya we are loving…”
Sung gracefully to the tune you know, complete with hand gestures, but no pants. It was a pants-free performance.
Later, after lunch and the addition of pants: “Kumbaya we are naughty! Kumbaya we are bad! Kumbaya we are naughty!”
Shouted while jumping on the couch and pulling my hair.
I tried to hide my laughter. My sister gave Corbeau a time-out.
When you’re three, sometimes you just can’t help yourself.
Our little angel.
