No Instrument at the Table

There is a Musical Theatre event for Solo and Ensemble! I haven't decided on a regular Solo and Ensemble piece, but my musical theatre one will (probably) be Shy from Once Upon a Mattress.

Before dinner today, I was singing it and seeing if I could use enough air to sing a B without it going flat or going into that range between headvoice and chestvoice that I can only sing lightly in. It nearly succeeded, and would have if my voice hadn't decided to be scratchy. 😑

Well anyway, I was belting it out at the top of my lungs and my parents and sister were getting frustrated. They tried to get me to stop singing, but I refused.

My sister said jokingly, "Shut up!"

I responded with, "Shut up and dance with me!" and then proceeded to sing that song.

My mom said something like, "(My name), no instrument during dinner."

And I did the Lance finger guns and replied with, "Is it too late now to say sorry?" I thought I was funny. My family did not, sadly.

My sister said, "Yes." My mom just kind of shook her head at me. And I sat there proudly. Then they tricked me into not singing by talking about stuff.
