When they got to the verse "shout hooray" Elias stood up, threw his hands in the air, and enthusiastically shouted "hallelujah!" The teachers started cracking up laughing, so now he's got the whole class shouting "hallelujah!" for that part of the song. No, it's not a Christian daycare, but they've got a subversive in their midst! I myself didn't "teach" that, per se; I think he got it from an Fernando Ortega CD.
