The weather is gorgeous today and I have the all the windows open to better enjoy the fresh air, scent an sight of roses so close I could touch them, and singing birds, as I work.
About ten minutes ago, the little girl next door starting singing at the top of her lungs, “SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME!” Not the whole song, just that one line. Over and over and over and over again. At first it made me smile and brought up many fun memories of my children having done the same thing and my grandchildren still doing it.
Every few minutes the little girl’s mother claps enthusiastically, which inspires her to attempt to belt it out even louder.
After several minutes of the repetition my smile began to fade as I attempted to concentrate on what I was doing. Then I became tempted to yell, “Your prince is on his way!” but there is no way I’m going to spoil the moment for the little girl and her mother.
I do hope her prince comes quickly.
With Love,
Russ

it would be an act of community service if he shows up sooner rather than later )
LOL! So true!
Russ
Hahahaha! I love it! Reminds me of when I stood on a tree stump scream singing “Oh When The Saints Come Marching In” and I kept looking down the field to see the saints. Finally one of my brothers came out and said “dad said to shut up!” Dad never said “shut up” so I’m fairly certain my brother paraphrased that! 🙂
LOL! Did this happen recently? ;-D! Thank you for sharing the fun story. I love the punch line!
Russ
Oh no…..it was quite a few decades ago. I was a wee one. 🙂
I knew, and was just pulling your chain, my friend!
Russ
Hahahahha!!!!! I SHOULD do that today. It would shake a few people up. And worry some!!! 😉
It also would likely amuse a few and delight some others. You might, however, want to consider doing it in a cornfield far away from a mental health facility… Come to think of it, weren’t some of the songs from the musical Oklahoma sing in cornfields? Maybe its okay to do so in the OK state.
Russ
Ha! I need to find some corn fields then Russ. I am sure I would get looks other wise. Or, who knows, maybe someone would join me????
I’ve been known to belt out that song myself. I have a deep voice and it is one of the songs that doesn’t sound AS BAD when I sing it versus most songs. You might try Iowa. I hear they’ve got a few cornfields. ;-D!
Russ
Iowa, you hace Russ to blame. 😉 Hahahahahaha!
I say it’s a phase. let itself burn itself out. I see it as a right of passage. The louder the character, the more put-together the adult in future. 😀
What if it lasts until she’s 18? After all, that’s what happens in the Disney “Full-length animated features.” ;-D!
Russ
😀 😀 Move. I wouldn’t hang around till she’s 18. You do know it’s her mother’s fault, right. 😀
LOL! Now there’s an idea!
Russ
😀 😀 😀 Just joking with you.
I knew you were, my friend!
Russ
