While Eating Dinner Together One Evening
Guest staring Hannah Campbell
"Hey Michael can you sing your song for mommy?" Daddy asked him while we were all gathered at the dinner table.
"Why?" He asked, dragging out the "Y" sound so what he really said was "Whyyyyyy?"
"Because I think Mommy will love your song." Daddy said trying to nudge him to sing by using an over dramatic tone.
"But I can't!" He said looking shy and distressed.
"Why not?" Daddy implored growing a tad impatient.
"'Cause every one will see it!" He said hiding his face in his hands.
"What if we all close our eyes?" Mommy suggested. "Then no one can see."
"Ok..." He agreed reluctantly.
Everyone proceeded to cover their eyes and turn their heads away. "What about now?" Mommy asked.
He began to hum a few bars very quietly then suddenly, "NO! I can still see Hannah and Emily!" He cried, disturbed by their lack of respect of his privacy.
"Ok, ok how about you cover your eyes like this." Mommy suggested further, showing him how to cover his eyes with both his hands. "Better?" She inquired.
"Ok. Now I can sing." He began to hum quietly and slowly the words grew more and more distinct.
"I've got Starbucks and some chocolate. I've got Starbucks and some Starbucks. I've got Starbucks and some chocolate in my soul!" He sang out the last line triumphantly to a round of applause.
"COVER YOUR EYES!"
