I don’t know why this is funny but it is

So tonight Andy and I were making tacos for the kids. Both Blake and Cole said they only wanted two. So Andy started singing how they stopped loving my tacos today.

Which made me start singing old George Jones.

“He stopped loving her today. he placed a wreath upon his door….”

and Andy joined in

“and soon they’ll carry him away. He stopped loving her TODAY”

Which made me laugh. I said, “wait! you know that song???”

He said, “honey I’m from Texas”

I’m sure our kids will do the same with old Foo Fighters and green day some day. But for us, it’s country baby.

Although what dude places a wreath upon his door… and why did they carry him away??

You can watch him here…. and you need to.

    Love George Jones, one of my favorite songs. Friends placed a wreath on his door because he died so he stopped loving her today.
    Anyway, that is what I always thought.

    Ohhhh so he loved her until he died. I get it. Well that’s sad. Geesh.

    I think it’s funny that you didn’t know he died in the end. It’s very sad…but I used to like it 🙂

    My husband randomly starts singing songs from his parents stash…sometimes it’s funny. Other times it’s just sad.

    Personally, I don’t listen to that much music…but I make sure to keep the classics alive…Ice Ice Baby…Baby’s got back and my husband does a mean uptight yuppie version of a NWA song. I figure our children should know the finer things in life 😉
