I just had the oddest comment from a kindergarten teacher who had come to observe the preschool class that attended my infant storytime this morning. This teacher and I had talked ahead of time about how it might be a bit interesting, having a group of preschoolers joining in with a storytime that’s intended for babies; we were wondering how well it would work out.Â
And after it was all over, the teacher came up to me and said, “You know, that worked out incredibly well! They were very attentive! And, of course, it really helps that you have a lovely singing voice!”
Wait a second. Did she just say that I have a “lovely singing voice”???
She did.
I’m in shock.
As someone who can’t carry a tune in a bucket, I’d take the compliments whenever, wherever, and by whoever they were given. It’s wondeful when people are delusional…to your benefit! Sing it loud! Sing it strong!
You’re right – even delusional compliments are great. But I’m still in shock… 🙂
Umm, you probably do have a good singing voice. Having know you for mumblety-mumble years, I know you’re musical and have a good sense of pitch. That’s basically all you need to sing.
Yup – I agree. You don’t curl my toes and you definitely don’t sing like Elaine on Seinfeld dances.
Ah, Dan and Rudy, you two may regret those comments. I may begin singing all the time now…heh heh heh…
(though admittedly Rudy, who sees me more frequently, will inevitably suffer far more than Dan)
