I never get
compliments on my voice. I sang to my oldest child daily when he was a baby.
And then, when he was about three years old, I was belting one out in the car
when I looked in the rear-view mirror and saw him holding his pudgy little hands
over his ears. Uh, oh. The kid had a better sense of tone than I did. Now, if
either of my children hear me singing, they beg: “Mommy, please stop!”
My dad was always
singing when I was growing up – he still does it sometimes. I loved hearing his
voice and I still remember the words to the old songs he would sing to us.
My parents put me
through private piano and violin lessons as a child, but I could never
accurately tune my violin. The only way I could play semi-accurately was by
using guide stickers for my fingers. I just have no musical abilities or
talent.
Your turn: Is there
something you NEVER get compliments on?
