Joe -

I've just spent this evening preparing for our equivalent to VBS ((HBW, which won't be until August), so it was nice to drop in and find the same sort of thing being discussed.

I think 'Our House' is right on the border between OK and not OK. My first thought was it's OK, just, but I'm not surprised that someone complained. My wife looked at it and said No, she wouldn't do that at Brownies.

Unfortunately we don't usually have time at HBW for nonsense songs, but if we did I would be conservative in my choice, because I know the range of parents we've got, and I wouldn't want to offend. Fortunately there are a lot of good nonsense songs which can be used - do you know 'Once an Austrian went Yodelling' ?
