It’s The Most Miserable Time Of The Year

(After seeing ‘Les Miserables’, two weeks later the music is still in our heads driving us crazy. One evening my mom starts humming the first line of ‘Masters of the House’.)

Mom: “Fa la la la la…”

(Noticing our death glare reactions, she finishes.)

Mom: “…la la, la, la.” <*to the tune of ‘Deck the Halls’. It's July.)

Dad: “Nice try.”
