So, I have to start by admitting -- with only slight embarrassment -- that I am totally one of those people who spontaneously bursts out into song, and sometimes dance, on a regular basis. (Anyone else like to pretend they're on Glee?) Okay, maybe I should clarify that I really only do this around Kaiser, Porter, and Brett. Lucky men they are. Sometimes my random "performances" are kids' songs, and sometimes they're about the farthest thing from it. Often I take a familiar song and change the lyrics to fit whatever mundane thing we're currently doing, but sometimes the song literally comes out of nowhere, and has no connection whatsoever to anything that is currently going on. I would like to at least tell you that I have a smidgen of musical talent and sound good when I belt out a tune, but alas, I do not. Again -- my guys are so lucky.
At lunchtime today, Kaiser and Porter were subjected to my very off-Broadway renditions of "Popular" and "Defying Gravity" from Wicked. (A tad obsessed after seeing it a couple of weeks ago, and receiving the soundtrack from my friend Kacia is only feeding said obsession!) Clearly I can't compete with Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel, but I must say, the boys tolerated me quite well. :) Then during our dinner tonight, I walked over to the sink for a moment, and when I turned around, one of those "out of nowhere, not-at-all kid-friendly" tunes came out of my mouth. (Seriously, when you hear it, please know that I'm as baffled as you are!) What took me by surprise in a good way, and made me decide to pull out a camera and keep singing, though, was Porter's hilarious reaction. I tell ya, this child of ours absolutely kills me. I can't get enough of him!
Now that I've watched this video a few times, I'm wondering whether all that head-shaking could be interpreted as "no no no", like he wants me to stop? Can't say I'd blame the kid. But until he's able to tell me otherwise, I'm just going to assume Porter Knight's my biggest fan, and keep on belting out those (hopefully more appropriate) songs for him and his brother. :)
