The Devil Came Down To Arizona...

The Devil came down to Arizona,

He was lookin' for a soul to steal,
He was in a bind

'Cause he was way behind,

And he was willin' to make a deal.

When he came across this young kid

Gnawing on a corn dog and eating it (NOT)

And the devil jumped up on the counter-top

And said, "boy, let me tell you what,

"I guess you didn't know it,
But you don't need to eat that food

And if you care to take a dare

I'll make a bet with you.

"Now I see you hate eatin corn-dogs, son

And all the food your Mom gives to you,

I'll bet you good dessert, more Scooby-Doo,

And that your Mom won't catch you."

The boy said, "Well my name is Spencer

And I can't really sin (under 8)

But I'll take that bet,

'Cause I never regret

And I don't mind remaining thin."

CHORUS:

Spencer, just ignore the devil and his rotten deal

Focus on choosin' good and finish your great meal.

And if you choose the devil's plan you really can not win,

When you get caught, Mom will never trust again.

So, the devil opened up this drawer

And he said "I'll show you, come near

The way to get rid of unwanted food,

Just place it right here."

Then he pulled the boy across his lap

And gave an evil sneer,

"You don't want this yucky food

Just keep 'losing' it in here."

When the devil finished Spencer said,

"Well that's a pretty good thought.

I can get away with it

And just keep eating the desserts Mom has bought."

Well Mom eventually discovered

Spencer's mischievous hiding spot.

And called the boy front and center

To explain this terrible lot.

Mom said, "Spencer, we eat our food

That has been given, dear.

I done told you tons, you son of Eric,

No more dessert will be offered here."

CHORUS:
Spencer, just ignore the devil and his rotten deal
Focus on choosin' good and finish your great meal.
And if you choose the devil's plan you really can not win,
When you get caught, Mom will never trust again.

This morning after breakfast, Tye discovered that Spencer has made a food-hiding-drawer. I've noticed lately that once I mentioned dessert, that Spencer would quickly "eat" his meal. Well, it turns out that he has been stashing his food into this drawer under the counter-top when I wasn't looking and saying that he was done. The sad thing is that the meals he was stashing were yummy-kid-loving-summer-meals! In the drawer I found a corn-dog, half a BBQ beef sandwich, a chicken nugget, 2 peanut butter sandwiches, 2 cheese crisps, half a pizza slice, half a meat sandwich, and Fruit Loops cereal. These are mostly the junk food meals that kids should love! We've been eating more of this junk these past few weeks since we've been busy moving and unpacking boxes. As Eric and I were talking about how sad it was that my baby lied to me, we started joking around to this song, saying Spencer followed the devil, and then the song just flowed. Hope you enjoy our laugh! (BTW- I just discovered that as I've been blogging this, Spencer used the toilet and then decided to play in the water. Yes, Eric found him with his foot in the toilet. I NEED A DAUGHTER! There are too many boys in my house! Even my dog is male! Mom, put in a good word for me and please ask God to send me a girl!)

Spencer usually sits on the middle bar stool and if you look under the counter to the left you'll see two drawers and cupboards. One of these is Spencer's rotten food drawer. Lovely, huh?
