And now let's do it as an opera!

The other night we were playing "Three Little Pigs" with Liam. He was the big bad wolf and we were the three little pigs huddled under a blanket. The blanket got blown away in a "huff and a puff" every time until we were in the brick house and "...not in by the hair of my chinny chin chin" was true and the big bad wolf could not blow the house away. The of course he tries to get in through the chimney, but clever pigs that we are, we have a pot of boiling water on the hearth and capture the wolf and he rolls down the hill. All of this of course on our bed and rolling down the hill means rolling off the bed with a burst of giggles. After playing that a couple of times, Liam looks at us and says: "Now, let's do it as an opera!". And so we did, in our best operatic voices, at times in a duet, very modern with dissonances. Then Liam suggested a comic opera: "Little Red Running Shorts". The evening concluded with many giggles, bows and then bathtime for the opera stars.
