How Song Titles are Born
Conversation as Brian, the kids and I were returning home after my three-year-old's Christmas concert, which he basically refused to sing in (except for Jingle Bells), then proceeded to hoot and holler wildly for the kids in subsequent performances:

Me: I'm just not sure he should be hooting and hollering like that in public. I mean, there's a time and a place for whooping.
Brian: Definitely, but it was okay where he whooped. The song starts, no whoop. The song ends, and whoop ... there it is.
