First, let me explain that in the 4th grade, everyone was allowed to “try out” for chorus. And usually everyone who tried out, made it. I mean, we were only 9 years old. How bad could we be?!?! Well… turns out, a 9 year old can be pretty bad. According to Ms. Stevens! Long story short – I didn’t make it. I was manager. It has haunted me.
So, with that said, I want to apologize to my poor baby boy who has to hear me sing to him daily. Besides being out of tune, I can’t remember normal baby songs. I usually sing to him the following:
The Golden Girls theme song – “thank you for being a friend…. And if you threw a party and invited everyone you knew, you would see the biggest gift would be from me & the card attached would say. Thank you for being a friend…”
Police, Roxanne (sorta) – “Baaaaby, you don’t have to turn on the red light. Baaaaby, you don’t have to sell your body to the night.” I sing this a lot.
I also sing a lot of 90’s rap songs, but not the whole song. Just a line here & there. But, don’t worry, I do play him GOOD music from my ipod all the time. He does not just get to hear this glorious voice of mine.
Remember...I was "runner up manager". So I guess my kids are suffering too.
