The Sweetest Things

Go on, indulge me I've had a compliment This is a big one as it was delivered from none other than my own teenage child Apparently the drama teacher had demonstrated a song from Annie. I sang a line and asked if it was any good and she said I was better than the teacher then added: "You know... If you'd have had singing lessons when you were younger, you'd actually be quite good. Maybe even famous" I'm not sure how I managed to carry on driving, I certainly didn't keep my cool. I decided to sing another line from Tomorrow and I advised her she'd just complimented me and she said "I was just saying" which I took to be a further compliment then carried on singing the one line I knew from the song. "Sing something better than that!" So I ruined a bit of a Taylor Swift song I didn't know well enough before I asked her what the one I like is. Then we sang Exile together loudly until we got home. She advised I didn't get too carried away as it's too late for me now. Even a death blow follow up can't dull my moment of glory. So I've booked her a singing lesson trial for Sunday. I like to think I haven't just been involved in the long con. Pretty sure the whole singing lesson thing was my idea...
