Our family is pretty muscial. Both the kids are in band and choir, Hillary plays piano, I occasionally sing in church...even my husband likes to listen to music. But as much as we love it, we sometimes get a song wrong.
The other day Parker was telling us about having to watch "The Sound of Music" at school. He couldn't think of the name of his favorite song on the show. He sang a few lines of it and Hillary and I said, "Oh, that's Edelweiss." And we were all trying to sing it. I couldn't understand why my husband looked so put out. I asked, "What's wrong, don't you like that song?" To which he replied huffily, "Why the heck are they singing those kinds of songs at school?" What? Then he went on, "Any song about an anal vice can't be good. What is an anal vice anyway? It sounds painful." We all cracked up, and now, sometimes out of the blue, one of us will just start singing, "Aaaanal Viiiiiiice..."
But I can't laugh too hard. It took me years to figure out that the song Secret Agent Man wasn't trying to make some kind of racial slur. I thought they were singing, "Secret Asian Man." I couldn't figure out why the man would want to keep his ethnicity a secret.
Anybody up for some karoke?

Remember when Beth asked,'Dad, what's a lidl-did-e-no?' And what about the song about a cross-eyed bear named Gladly. "Gladly, the Cross I'd Bear"
MOM
