punk farm

A while back, Overboard got a book for Kenny called "Punk Farm on Tour." The artist/writer is related to someone she works with, and he even autographed the inside cover with a special inscription for Mr. K.

The revolves around a group of farm animals, who, naturally, have their own punk band, and go on tour when Farmer Joe heads off to a tractor society convention. Along the way, they sing their hit song, "The Wheels on the Van" and deal with the benefits and hazards of a nation-wide tour.

Kenny thinks the book is pretty rockin', and likes how Daddy sings each verse with extra rock/punk attitude. Now, when he hears the more sedate version of "Wheels on the Bus" while driving in the car, he punctuates the end of each verse by singing: "all through the townnnn.....YEEEEE-OWWWW!"

Thanks to my tutoring, he is also known to utter the phrases, "Rock Star" or "Hello, Cleveland!" and "Thanks! Don't forget to sign the mailing list and we've got t-shirts for sale in the back!"*


*The final phrase often is condensed to merely "in the back"
