A new version of an old favorite?
I think the teachers at Conner's daycare were getting desperate for something to entertain the kids with yesterday. As we were leaving, one of the teachers said "Conner - make sure you sing the Rudolph song for mom in the car". I was thinking - isn't that nice, they taught him Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. So on the way home he sang it for me. He continued singing it for most of the night - we have it on video for anyone who is interested.
It's not EXACTLY the traditional version: it goes something like this:
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose - like a light-bulb!
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose - like pinocchio!
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose - like Applebees!
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose - like George Washington!
After each line, Conner would laugh more hysterically. Especially after the George Washington line. We're not entirely sure how Applebees and George Washington relate to Rudolph's red nose, but it was fun to watch him sing it!

Applebee's has a red logo. If you were to eat the riblets and come down with food poisoning your stool might be tinted...
George Washington chopped down a tree with (red) cherries. He used to give Martha erotic spankings, meaning her backside was...
I bet it's one of those explanations.

The Applebee's reference makes sense, although I'm not too sure about what the consequences of bad riblets might be... Actually "riblets" sort of sounds like a disease in and of itself; i.e., "I just went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a really bad case of riblets."
As for George Washington, I thought they were just implying that he was an alcoholic. Or maybe that he has an oily T-zone...
