Oh Susanna...

I was just sitting in the AHS classroom where I volunteer, and one student started singing the American folk song, "Oh Susanna..." He didn't quite have the words right, because he kept saying, "I come from Argentina with a banjo on my knee." The teacher and I cry out, "It's ALABAMA! Not Argentina!" He laughed and smacked his forehead. He immediately started singing again, only this time he sang, "I come from Argentina with a soccer ball on my knee." HA!

Hey Heather,

That's pretty funny about the "I come from Argentina with a soccer ball on my knee!" Thank God for humor--that gave me a good laugh!


Keep serving the Lord and loving those kiddos! N & J

If I had a nickel for every time I've heard that song, with or without lyrical accuracy...I might have 10 bucks, but hey, that's something.
