Is it my singing or my Chinese

Is it my singing or my Chinese?

Molly and I were riding in the car the other day on the way to dinner with Ann, Jordan, and Regina to celebrate one year since Gotcha Day (thanks to Ann for the yummy dinner). Molly is in her carseat singing along to a CD I have of Chinese children’s songs. It’s so cute listening to her (she does the same thing with her Wiggles CD in English or should I say Australian). So I want to encourage her to sing, so I decide to sing along. I have NO clue what I am saying (remember, the songs are in Chinese – my Chinese is limited to “thank you” – xie, xie, “hello,” – ni hao and “little sister” – mei mei), but I sing anyway, loudly and badly. After a couple of lines of verse, I hear Molly laughing hysterically in the back of the car. So was it my dreadful singing voice or my horrendous butching of the Chinese language that Molly found amusing? Eventually the laughing died down and she sang just as loudly as I did – although I think she is a much better singer!

I decided to upload a bunch of photos this time! Enjoy (you can click on each picture to make it bigger and easier to see)!!
