La, la, la, la, la - I can sing again!

La, la, la, la la: I’m allowed to sing again!

In a previous post, I mentioned that Molly did not like (or should I say hated) for me to sing. It really upset her. Well, now I am allowed to sing again. One problem…she wants me to sing in Chinese. I know, you are wondering, does Anna speak Chinese? The answer would be no (with the exception of hello, hi, and thank you). However, Molly does have some Chinese language CDs (thanks to my father and his associate in China, Haiping) that she listens to all the time in the car. We sing along to the songs in the car (as soon as Molly gets in the car, she says “listen to Chinese) – I have no idea what I am saying (although I do recognize the tune of many of the songs: “It’s a Small World” “Do your Ears Hang Low,” etc.). I can really only sing the refrain of the songs (and badly at that) because I really have trouble pronouncing the words. However, Molly wants me to constantly be singing – in Chinese only! I make stuff up (if I don’t know how to say something, I just say it louder with more confidence!) So if you are ever in the Dallas area and see a crazy blonde singing mutilated Chinese at the top of her lungs, there is a good chance that that is me! And if so, I apologize in advance and hope the sheer terror you experience does not cause an accident!
