Ok, so when I told the guys to stop picking on Thomas just because he's British, I was told, "But it's a tradition. It started with Ethan and we do it every time we're together. We didn't want Thomas to feel left out."
Thomas seemed to be holding his own, and his big grin seemed to say he was enjoying the attention, so I left it a bit longer. The voices got louder and they were going "face to face" trying to make their point, so I stepped in again, "Ok that's enough. Change the subject." They laughed and side tracked a few moments, until one had to make his previous point clear, and it all started up again.
I finally summoned up my true authority and gave the ultimatum, "Alright. That's it. Change the subject or I'll make you all sing."
That did it! For the next 1/2 hour, they giggled and sang their way into victory over England until we were all snorting and rolling and crying with laughter. You shoulda been there!!
I'll be working with the San Diego Opera Committee in the near future, signing these boys up. Pavarotti's got NOTHING over this pack of coyotes!!
