The First Day of School is the Best Day of School


My kids watch a show called Fred. The guy who plays Fred (who got his show by posting skits on YouTube, so good for him) speaks in a Chipmunk-esque voice that’s so annoying, I refused to watch it for years. But then I accidentally watched some and it was pretty funny.

He sings a song about camp which is technically entitled, “The Last Day of School is the Best Day of School,” but I switched it to “The First Day of School is the Best Day of School,” and annoyed all of them by singing that for the past week. Go ahead. Try it. It’s catchy! I think my mom’s group should do a cover.
