I made my youngest daughter cry today. It wasn't by telling her "no" or by being mean mommy and making her take her nap. She cried because I sang. Yep. I was driving along and absentmindedly started to sing along to the radio (love me some GaGa) and she started screaming, "No, Mommy, no!!!"
Which reminded me why I never sing. Well, I did try to sing that one time in 2006 after a night out with friends and a few hundred cocktails. I have evil friends that thought it would be hilarious to dare my inebriated self to get up and sing karaoke. I might do many things but I will never, ever turn down a dare. A double dare?! Sign me up because I'm singing ya'll. It was the most horrific experience. In.my.life. Worse than natural childbirth. I shit you not.
I got up there and had a moment of clarity in my cocktail induced haze. I had people looking at me! Waiting on me to sing!! I stood there frozen and then the music started and I ran off the stage and right out the bar. My friends followed me out and were dying laughing so hard. It was pretty funny looking back now.
This was the infamous night. Before my demise, of course.
And you have to see the pic that one of my friends took and posted on FB yesterday. This really happened....
Makes me proud to be a Mississippian. What would make her think, "Hey, these fit great!" Can you imagine how long it took her to get those on?

My daughter has cried when I sang too. I'm insulted.
ReplyDeleteI saw that last picture on Facebook too. I was like ??????????????!!!!!!!!!
Lol. Crazy isn't it?!
DeleteMaybe your daughter just has no taste! If it makes you feel better, I made my son cry just by walking in the room yesterday. Three times in a row.
ReplyDeleteLove it, Hilary! That is so funny! :-) You are awesome.
DeleteThanks for that pic. Can't get it out of my head.
ReplyDeleteI always want to karaoke and always "crash and burn'. Every damn time.
You're welcome, Kyla! Bahahaha (evil laugh)
