I found the source of the ticking . . .

R came home the other day, well yesterday really, and was singing, "Harry Potter, Harry Potter. Ron Weeeeeasley, Ron Weeeeeasley. Snape, snape severous snape." Now if you know R at all he was singing this incessantly and without explanation. Finally, with nerves frayed, we asked him what the fuck it was that he was singing. There's a possibility that we phrased that question a bit differently when we posed it to him but we certainly asked that question to each other.

He explained that it was a part of the skit that he was going to be performing at camp. Our reaction was "Oh, OK." Then slowly over the course of the evening we learned more part of the skits. As each part was revealed we wondered aloud about what this skit was based off of (poor grammar). Finally around bed time, it was revealed that his counselors had told the kids to check youtube for the skit, but been a bit sketchy about how to search for the video. Don had initally told Robert no when he asked to search for it concerned for what we might find. I decided to skip the Youtube search and just do a Google search of all the stuff Robert was reciting (over and over and over again).

Here's what we found



So apparently the skits at camp in the year 2009 are re-enactments of Youtube videos.

Oh my, the times they are a changin'.

A year or so ago my teenage nieces & nephew were over and much to my surprise, together with my teen son they pulled this vid up and performed it as if they'd practiced for weeks.

Kids.
