Kids in the SCA!

Here's one to giggle over. My two oldest kids were 2 and 3 years old when I 
found the SCA in the early 80's. I was a single parent then so the kids went 
where I did. My best friend would travel with us and she and I would practice 
bardic pieces in the car on the way to events. This went on for several years. 

When my oldest was in 1st grade, her school had a Founders Day Party. During 
the course of the afternoon, her teacher held a talent show in the classroom. 
My sweet little, blonde headed, blue eyed daughter, stood up there in her 
little Prarrie dress and belted out the first verse of "I'm a Rover, seldom 
sober...." I stopped her after one verse before the song got worse. What makes this 
so funny is that Josie, my daughter, went to Catholic school and was lucky 
enough to be taught by a nun in the first grade. Sister glared at me, just like I 
remember from my school days, and most of the other parents were hiding 
smiles if not out right giggling!

We were very careful of what we sang in the car on the way to events after 
that!
