Lauryn, Dylan and I were in the van headed to pick up Ryan from school. I had been driving about five minutes when it hit me we that we were all three singing different songs. Each quite loudly. Top volume in fact. I'm sure we all just started out humming and slowly built up our decibel level trying to hear ourselves over each other. It was really funny when I tuned in and realized this awful cacophony of sound was happening all around me!
Dylan was singing some made up tune that sounded like it needed a banjo accompaniment. Lauryn was singing a variety of "mmmmm", "ooooh" and "ahhhs" with an occasional "Bubba, Bubba, Bubba" thrown in, and a little chorus that included the words "oh man". I was singing "Your Name"by Paul Baloche, a song I've had stuck in my head for an inordinate amount of time.
When I realized what we were doing, I stopped singing and just started watching Dylan and Lauryn in the rear view mirror. They kept right on gazing out the window and singing until we arrived at the school. They did, however, take the volume down a bit when they didn't have to compete with loud-mouth mom.
