For Balance
After bragging on myself like I did in the last post, it's only fitting that I tell a whole different story for balance.
So, a few days ago, I'm attempting to get the kids home from some pre-lunch errands, with the challenge being to keep them awake. (So that they would both take their naps after lunch. At the same time.)
So, I put in a Muppets tape, and start singing "Happy Feet". (Who can keep from singing when "Happy Feet" is playing???)
I guess I should insert here that while there are some talented singers in my family, and I even married someone with a beautiful voice, I am not exactly blessed with angelic pipes. While I'm not entirely tone deaf, I'd be a hungry girl if I sang for a living.
So, after barely a few stanzas of "Happy Feet", I hear this from the backseat, (and I kid you not):
"Mommy, please don't sing. It hurts my ears".
lol....... yep..... at least she's an honest 3 year old.

LOL! Not at your singing, but at Poodle's comment. Hey, I read that when Reese Witherspoon received her copy of the soundtrack from "Walk the Line," she put it on in the car, and her kids started complaining about that awful singing on the radio!!!
So, yours are not the only ones to complain. I'm just waiting for the day when Fidget does the same thing. Right now, she just hasn't figured out how to ask me to be quiet! :-)
