And indeed I shall make Berry Blue Jello. But first I will annoy my son by singing all the songs I can remember with "BLUE" in the title. And I will have help from Ironing Man. We will start with Blue Velvet...harmonizining on the dum dum duuuum parts. J-dude will ask how do we both know this song. He will finally decided is it because you guys are OLD and we will have to agree with that assessment. But wait! We are not done.
I will start singing Blue Suede Shoes, which will earn me a slightly smaller eye roll from J-dude. Then Ironing Man will remember Blue Hawaii. Night and youuuuuuuu.... yes that earns a little more of the orbital rotation than my shoe song.
Next I will break out Tommy James and the Shondells Crystal Blue Persuasion. We are definitely on a roll now...yes, an eye roll roll.
But then, an amazing thing will happen. J-dude will look over at the OLD people bopping around the kitchen, and say "Devil in a Blue Dress." I will first think he might be talking about me, but I will only wearing a blue t-shirt. Well, I will have pants on too of course. But they are red. (Yes, of course unmatched PJs, I wouldn't wear red pants out of the house.) So I think he will be playing the OLD people's game.
I can't wait until he asks for Red Jello. Because then we can get Grandad to play Red River Valley on his harmonica!!

Delightful!
I will start practicing now!
I had a 45 rpm of Paul Mauriat's orchestral "Love is Blue", 1968 or so.
