It is quite a catchy tune.
If you heard it, you would hum along. You might even start singing the simple words…
R-H-E-T-T
Rhett means something like a piece of cake.
R-H-E-T-T
Rhett means something like a ball.
R-H-E-T-T
Rhett means something like a Popsicle.

Ryan even wrote
The Rhett Song into a three page book bound with metal rings.
It is like a Rhett Hymnal.
Unfortunately, it is not well received by Rhett. He starts screaming at the first phrase, hum, or even if you simply spell his name.
Don’t sing that song!
The other day blog-Stedman, Rhett and I were sitting at a restaurant table waiting for our lunch to appear. The other boys were in school and Rhett had our undivided attention. Out of the blue he declared…
I am going to change my name and not tell Ryan and Reid.
While trying not to laugh, we agreed that he could do that if he wanted. I asked him what he was going to change his name to and he thought for a minute…
Blah Blah Blah.
Alright! I now have a son named Blah Blah Blah, but
shhhhh…don’t tell his brothers.
The day continued and I didn’t think much about it until I was taking the boys up to bed. Ryan was yelling for Rhett.
Rhett! Rhett! Rhett!
There was no answer, but the four year old in my arms had a giggling smile and super mischievous eyes. He whispered to me in glee…
Ryan doesn’t know my name.
Yes as my kids sing this even when your kids are not even close.. not even seen that day.. R- H- E _ TT Rhett Rhett needs soimething like a popcicle.
I love this. Luke has changed his middle name several times. But he lets everyone know it. On his birth certificate, it’s Patrick. But last year he changed it to “Military.” So when he wrote his name on papers at school, he wrote “Lucas Military Lastname.” It was hilarious.
After a visit to Virginia this summer, and seeing all of the Naval and Coast Guard vessels, he changed it again. So his papers all said, “Lucas CG Lastname.” What’s CG? That was my question, too! Coast Guard, of course. Then he changed it to “Paratrooper” for a short time, which was a relief since it at least has the same initital as Patrick. For now, anyway, he has changed it back to Patrick since he realized that he’s named after my dad. Also, his big sister just did a project about Patrick Henry who was, and I quote, “So, amazingly awesome.”
Next week, he very well may be “Lucas Blah Blah Blah Lastname.” I’ll keep you updated….
We have songs for both of our girls, written just after their births! Now I need to see if I can remember them…
That is beyond adorable! Smart kid you’ve got there!
heehee! I wish Rhett better luck than I have experienced. Whenever I tell my kids “mom isn’t here” they just keep on talking 😉
Maybe he will write a whole new song book for his new name! 🙂
