Yes, thank youuuuu, sin-gle la-dee...One person has responded...
When my kids were small, my threat to break out in song was a punishment only meted out for the most serious of infractions. The rest of the time I just did it for malicious delight. When I sang to the radio in the car, my daughter, ever the dramatic, would throw herself sideways in her carseat until her little body looked broken, arms limp and yet still struggling weakly in a vain attempt to pull herself to freedom. "Stop with the singing, Mommy! Stop with the singing!"
Begging gets you nowhere. I would turn the volume down on Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody so I could give it all I had virtually a cappella, "I see a little silhouetto of a man, Scaramouche! Scaramouche! Will you do the Fandango?! Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me! Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Figaro - magnifico-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!"
Tell me to stop singing. I can make it hurt.
Bahahaha! Love that lass in the video.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're not the only one who's used the threat to sing to bring people into line.. Heh
Isn't that girl the BEST? She does droll better than anyone I have ever heard. Dead. Pan.
DeleteAnd I love that you used the word lass. That's a great word. My heritage is Scot, so I'm prejudiced. ***RACIST!!!*** (That was for me...)
DeleteI am still not sure I believe that a baby wolf posted the video...
ReplyDeleteTuerqas, that's a very talented pup.
DeleteEven smarter than this dog.
An invaluable talent when trying to keep teens in line. Particularly teen girls. In front of their friends.
ReplyDeleteNow you're on my wave length. Current songs to sing are I'm Wide Awake and Call Me Maybe. Both repetitive, easy to memorize.
DeleteI stopped singing after enough times of my family laughing and thinking I was goofing around by singing off key, followed by the confused looks I'd get when I said I wasn't really goofing around...a look that said, "Hah hah, very funny, we don't believe you. Somebody could only be that bad on purpose."
ReplyDeleteSo...yeah.
We should do a duet!
DeleteMy kids wouldn't even let me sing lullabies. I don't get no respect!
It's been over two days. Where are you, Missy? *stern look goes here*
ReplyDeleteOh my, do you know how lovely that is for you to message me about my "disappearance"? You are a dear, Joan.
DeleteI have been CRAZY busy because it's the country fair week and our daughter shows lambs. So it's been crack of dawn stuff, shearing, washing, walking, cooling with fans, showing, aaaaaaaahhh! The good news is that she won her class, so all her hard work earned her success. I should have told her that she didn't do that...somebody else made that happen!...HAHAHA!
Anyway, I simply haven't had time to post anything. Barely able to keep up with work; no time for recreation!
But I should be back soon!
COUNTY! County fair week. I suck at typing.
DeleteLambs??!!! Squee!!!! Why are there NO pictures of lambs here? *another stern look*
