Bedtime Concert

I listened to the sweet sounds of Missy and Michael singing tonite before bedtime. Missy's singing voice is VERY LOUD, and she can (and did) go on for over half an hour singing her own made-up music and lyrics. Michael was sort of along for the ride, interjecting his soft (right on pitch, by the way!) version of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "The ABC's", when Missy would relinquish the stage long enough for him to squeeze in a song...and then she would boot him off and continue...

I had to excuse myself a couple of times during her marathon musical anthology because I could not keep from giggling at the hilarious lyrics she was improvising (of course, she was dead serious singing them)...Here's some of her little diddy...

(Now, imagine in your mind, these lyrics set to the melody of Little Mermaid's "Part of This World" song...and they are being sung at the TOP OF HER LUNGS, holding a plastic toy microphone...)

"I am so happy! That it's my birthday! I love
EVERYONE...and my mom is great...even when she is angry...because I made bad choices...la la la... and I love Michael, even when I do something to him and he tells on me....and Matthew when he has stinky toots...I BELIEVE IN GOD---AND JESUS--- AND SANTA CLAUS! Because if you don't believe, THEY WON'T COME! la la la... I trust in God, Jesus and Santa (apparently her Holy Trinity?) and everyone... I trust in Mama...and Namma...and Matthew and Michael...and Daddy...and Makana and Simba (the dogs) ...and Timmy (the cat) ...I love everyone...la la la!..."

And this went on...and on...and on...

I believe I smell a recording contract in her future.
