That's all it took.one thirty-second cheer.and I'm suddenly the coolest thing since, well, whatever kids think is cool these days. They laughed and giggled, and when I was all done, they wanted me to do it again. Enthralled that an adult such as myself would make a complete and utter fool of himself. Of course, it wasn't nearly as exciting without my pom-pons, of course. So, as they finished their cheer, I offered to show them mine. I had my opportunity to connect to these kids in a way that showed them I'm a kid at heart. Last weekend, we had a special Saturday rehearsal for the upcoming program, and during the break, three of the girls decided to work on a cheer of their own. But, being an adult among kids means you risk becoming a staunchy old man. I take music seriously, and expect them to not only sing.but sing well. Today, I'm actively involved in various musical groups at my church, the most recent of which is the choir for kids in fourth through sixth grade. But, I was in the first grade.and this was the 70s.
Firecracker boom boom boom lyrics Pc#
And I suppose it isn't the most PC of cheers. I remember being drawn to this rather risque cheer because I got to say the word "sexy", and managed to get away with it.
It was then, in the first grade, that I learned my first cheer.įirecracker, firecracker, boom, boom, boom! (Or, at least, when all the boys except me.) I got to see what it was girls liked to do when the boys weren't around. This also meant I had an inside scoop into a world generally off limits to the male gender. One side effect of this was that I found myself playing with the girls moreso than the boys. Of course, in hindsight, I'm sure the girls could have held their own just fine.but at least I felt like I was making a difference in the childhood irrational fear of cooties. Personally, I couldn't stand for it, and so I found myself being a traitor to my kind and coming to the defense of the girls. I was always a bit of a weirdo, even as a kid.īack in the first grade, the boys on the playground would taunt and tease the girls.
