The other night Dylan was working on something on the computer and he asked us how to spell "custody." My wife Kim told him "It's C-U-S-T-O-D-Y" and I looked at her and said "Hmm, I thought that spelled "fun" or "play". She gave me the same look you're giving me now, unless you too are a huge Tammy Wynette fan and have to sing part of "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" to remember how to spell "surprise."
For those of you who still don't get it, here are the lyrics to one of the absolute best country songs ever.
D-I-V-O-R-C-E Lyrics
Our little boy is four years old and quite a little man
So we spell out the words we don't want him to understand
Like T-O-Y or maybe S-U-R P-R-I-S-E
But the words we're hiding from him now
Tear the heart right out of me.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E; becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
Watch him smile, he thinks it Christmas
Or his 5th Birthday
And he thinks C-U-S-T-O-D-Y spells fun or play
I spell out all the hurtin' words
And turn my head when I speak
'Cause I can't spell away this hurt
That's drippin' down my cheek.
Our D-I-V-O-R-C-E; becomes final today
Me and little J-O-E will be goin' away
I love you both and it will be pure H-E double L for me
Oh, I wish that we could stop this D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
