1. Favorite Ridiculous Video - It's been around for a while now, and as sick as it is - we sing it around the house. My favorite part is the "cover" on the back half of the video[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMtZfW2z9dw&fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0]5. Favorite Quote from one of my kids - "I don't think it's fair that kids don't get to vote. The government makes decisions that are going to affect me. I should get to vote."
