Is this weird? Do other people do this? We try to annoy each other and sing about whatever word the most annoyed person has said last. You know, please stop....becomes...stop, in the name of love! I could go on all day but I think I've made my point.
I know other people must have done this, or else there wouldn't be anyone that would have a singing contract. But those people can sing well, I don't think we can. My daughter and my husband have nice voices, my son and I are competent, but not great. We aren't looking for a contract or anything, so why do we do this? I know my husband's family never did this, I know that my family never did this. Is this a thing that my husband and I just do together and so it became a family thing? I can't even remember when it started. I do know that my daughter's friends have commented that we sing everything. So it is noticeable.
Maybe it's one of those things that just happens once and then evolves from there. Maybe it started because one of us sang something once, so the other sang back and it just became a thing. Kind of like the way we used to talk for the dog. She's been gone for 2 years now, my sweet puppy, and the kids still ask me to do "her laugh" because it makes them feel close to her. When we talk about her, I still talk for her. Originally my husband started that one - but then I took over and it became my thing. I talk for everything...but that's another story.
So I guess this is just a thing that evolved over time. I still wonder if other people do it like we do. Do they sing around the supper table, do they sing to annoy the kids, or are they normal and sing like normal people do? Who knows. I wonder if people would even admit to this if they did?
