A Different Side of Chief

For those of you that know my husband, the following story may come as a surprise.  And to my husbands co-workers...I assure you we ARE talking about the same man.  For those that don't know my husband this is going to be a very boring story.

Setting:
Dinner time.
Players:
Chief, Mary, L and H


Chief:  H, eat. It's barbecue chicken and it's great!  (he takes a fork-full of chicken and puts it very near to the face of L.)
L:  (gives THE LOOK)
Mary:  Really?! Daddy!  Is that the kind of thing you would approve of L doing to H
Chief:  No....But it's Super-bowl day and I am excited.
H:  Why?
Chief:  Football and funny commercials.
H:  Like what?
Chief:  like the sandman commercial.....
Mary: (because I can't hear a song title without singing it)(singing) Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Chief: (singing) Bum, bum, bum, bum
Mary: (singing) Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
Chief: (singing) Bum, bum, bum, bum
Mary: (singing) Give him two lips like roses and clover
Chief: (singing) Bum, bum, bum, bum 
Mary: (singing) Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over

(meanwhile L continues to "give the look" and H stops eating...of course)
Mary: (to L and H)  don't you think we could be in a band?
L:  (in hopes of getting an extra cookie, no doubt) Mommy, you're the best singer.
H:  (leaning over to Chief, and speaking in a whisper) But, Daddy, you're terrible.

(all players laugh)

End of scene

Chief really does act silly and sometimes he even sings.  To be fair, only one of my children was right in their post-song evaluations...but it wasn't L.
