Happy Birthday - November 25, 2009

Today is Charvirn’s Birthday. I don’t actually know Charvin, but everyone sang to him this morning. It was really quite beautiful. I walked into the assembly and saw a boy about 8 years old with maramars hanging from his neck and atop his head. His chest, shoulders and back were covered in a white powder and someone had drawn all over his face with red lipstick. The girls, who were all sitting on one side of the room began singing happy birthday, followed by how old are you now? And may the good lord bless you. All of which were sung to the happy birthday tone. I have to say that it was the most beautifully sung version of happy birthday I have ever heard! I cant wait for my birthday!
