Oh Where Is My Hairbrush

Hey Friends,

This is Odie checking in with you. I hope you are having a fantastic weekend! Thanks for stopping by for a visit today.

We are enjoying our time in Louisiana. We are scheduled to be in Louisiana through Wednesday night. Then the BoggsMobile will take us to Mississippi. It feels good to be rolling down the road again.

Recently I was trying to locate my hairbrush. I found myself singing a silly song, "Oh, Where Is My Hairbrush." When I realized what I was singing, all I could do was smile and laugh. "Oh, Where Is My Hairbrush" is an old song from VeggieTales. Click here to see the song.

I have some funny memories tied to the tune. Let me give you a little back story. Then I will explain why "Oh, Where Is My Hairbrush" makes me laugh.

Mom is very impressionable and you can plant songs in her head very quickly. Dad and I like to have fun with Mom, trying to see if we can get random songs stuck in her head. Then other times, we just mention a song lyric in passing during a conversation. The next thing we know, Mom is singing the song!

"Oh, Where Is My Hairbrush" Story

Twenty years ago, Mom could hear just a few words or notes of "Oh, Where Is My Hairbrush," and she would be stuck on the song for hours.

All the kids in the church that we pastored in Kansas knew that the song would get stuck in Mom's head. They would all sing it to her! We had a blast teasing Mom with "Oh, Where Is My Hairbrush."

My friends from other churches liked to join in on the fun too. One time a friend of mine bought Mom a Larry from Veggies Tales and he sang the song.

Mom was constantly singing, "Oh, Where Is My Hairbrush." She would sing about things that she was searching for. One time I heard," Oh, where is my dish towel." I think of the song and the funny memories daily when I need my hairbrush.

Well, I need to go find my hairbrush and fix my hair. I will close for now. Thanks for reading. I will see you next weekend.
