I have gotten a complaint or two from parents once in while (Yes, my singing really is that bad, lol) but no matter! I just soldier on with confidence - it's all you can do really.<br /><br />I remember reading the Hobbit out loud to my younger sister as a bedtime story and running into the same dilemma. There's a part where the dwarves start to sing something along the lines of:<br /><br />Chip the glasses and smash the plates!<br />That's what Bilbo Baggins hates -<br /><br />That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!<br />So, carefully now! Carefully with the plates!<br /><br />I made up a tune on the spot, and it's remained a favorite of ours many years since.Madigan Mirzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03298558705488237857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514068568720000229.post-84552545028404499792010-09-14T10:53:22.581-07:002010-09-14T10:53:22.581-07:00Oh yeah, my favorite is when they tell you you'...Oh yeah, my favorite is when they tell you you're singing it wrong because daddy sings it a different way...Jolene Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809468564016928636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514068568720000229.post-51694490765659509362010-09-14T06:36:48.107-07:002010-09-14T06:36:48.107-07:00That's very cute.

I'd better hunt to see if I have a copy of the original Pooh book. If not, I'd better get one.Jaleh Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942272578488986874noreply@blogger.com
