So, one night while she was singing in the shower, I recognized a familiar sound. It was Romanian so I couldn't understand it, but it sure sounded familiar. Shelly got out of the shower and I asked her if she was signing Amazing Grace in Romanian. She cheerfully answered, yes! Amazing Grace happens to be one of my most favorite hymns. Ever since we saw the movie Amazing Grace, I gained a whole new respect for the song. So to hear her sing that song, I melted. Tears and all.
Naturally, I would have to go to school the next day and telly everyone just how proud I am of my daughter. Then, I told Mr. G, her teacher. He looked at me funny and said that the class is not learning that song. He said that if she was able to sing it, that would be great.
Later on the way home from school, I asked her to sing it again to me. She wasn't quite sure what I was talking about. She said, " Do you mean that song I made up in the shower?" I'm sure you could imagine my reaction as I was ticked at her! I asked her why she told me that she was singing that song? "Mommy, I was just joking!"
Not a joke to me...... she bursted my "proud" bubble not to mention the embarrassment of having to go to school to tell everyone that she was joking!
Lesson learned, do not gloat, and do not be proud as it always comes back to haunt!
