One more bit of proof that the way we see ourselves isn’t the way the world sees us:

Halfway through a recent Mother Goose on the Loose storytime, a mother new to the storytime asked me, “Wow – when you interviewed for this job, did you have to do a singing audition?”

Me, with a laugh, “Actually, before this job I never, ever sang publicly.”

The mom:  “But you have a beautiful singing voice!!”
