Dropping Like Hotcakes

 

We have been to two ice skating shows recently (Disney on Ice then Stars on Ice) and for both performances I packed a large interior pocket full of glowsticks. I highly recommend doing this if you take kids to an ice show, as the stands are kinda dark and kids are often not ok with that. But definitely bring extras because kids will drop them and they will roll down the stands and yeah they be gone. 

Explanation: "dropping like flies" and "selling like hotcakes" are two different phrases that can be combined to "dropping like hotcakes", meaning something that is highly desired is quickly depleting.

M: Wow, the kids still have glowstick bracelets after the performance!
L: Yeah, they were dropping like hotcakes but I brought twice as many as we needed and we have no extras now.

Little Drummer Boy Drama

I don't totally recall what inspired this one, since I drew it last year after Christmas when it was too late to post, but thinking of the term 'beep boxing' makes me smile :) Since beatboxing is 'vocal percussion', technically "The Little Drummer Boy" has a beatboxing element with the "Pa rum pum pum pum" part. So there's that. But now I want to call it beep boxing.

M: I cannot BELIEVE the kids choir is BEEP BOXING in the Christmas program!!!
U: Ma'am... no. And it's a classic rendition of "The Little Drummer Boy."
