Diva

One day recently, I'm taking Rachel to school and I ask her whether she'll sing something for me. So, she sings me the song her teacher, Miss Diane, sings to her class before they go their separate ways at the end of the day.

I sit in the front seat, smiling as I listen to the following:

"The more we get together, together, together....
The more we get together,
The happier we'll be,
'Cause your friends are my friends,
And my friends are your friends,
The more we get together,
The happier we'll be!"

I say, "All right!" and applaud loudly in the front seat, only to be rebuked with "I"M NOT FINISHED!"

She begins anew....

"The more we get together, together, together....
The more we get together,
The happier we'll be...."

Pause

Longer pause

I coax her from the front seat....
"'Cause my friends...."

"NOOOOOOOOO!" she shrieks. "Not your friends, Miss Diane's friends!"

Never, ever, tick off a singing toddler!
