Singing Tigers and Honest Toddlers

So Lainy and I watched a few minutes of the Christmas Tree lighting at Rockefeller Center in NYC tonight. (On TV, not in real life.)

Aretha Franklin sang "Joy To the World" to start the show.

This is what she was wearing:

After watching Aretha for a minute, Lainy (always the commentator) turned to me looking thoughtful and said: "That tiger sings really good".

Ha HA ha!!!

I'm still laughing as I type this...
