Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Chuckles...
Stella: Ms. Patty - my name is Stella, remember? You named me.
Ms. Patty: Oh, sorry.
Let's continue.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Boo Boo Stella...
Stella: Ms. Patty - really? Are you becoming frail of mind? My name is Stella, remember?
Ms. Patty: Oh, sorry, I kind of forgot.
One more time, all together now.
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Horse...
Stella: Ms. Patty, I'm getting a bit disturbed because I don't understand why all the confusion on my name. My name is Stella!
Ms. Patty: I can't help it, you have so many names that have been lovingly (and sometimes not so lovingly) attributed to you that it makes it hard to choose sometimes.
Stella: Why have you given me these names??
Ms. Patty: Well, Chuckles came about because, um, I don't actually remember but it is a true term of affection, I promise you. As for Boo Boo Stella I think we we were playing hide-and-go-seek when I came up with that one.
Stella: Hmmm. I can live with those two names, I suppose. But Horse?? Really??? What is that all about?
Ms. Patty: See, you have this tendency to fly down the basement stairs at warp speed and you actually take the steps 4 at a time...
Stella: I'm just getting my exercise and practicing running from Mr. K!!
Ms. Patty: Let me finish. When you take those 4 steps at a time, it sounds as though you're a horse. If you were a little lighter on your feet, perhaps we could change the name to Gazelle. Would you like that better?
Stella: Oh, please! That's beautiful!
Ms. Patty: Then let's get to it... hey, where are you going??
Stella: I'm downstairs, was I quieter this time?
Ms. Patty: Not in the least, I'm afraid.
Stella: <sigh>
Okay, now we'll sing Happy Birthday (a belated one) to Ms. Stella properly.
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Stella!!
Happy Birthday to you!
Meow...
