"I've got the Music in me".. Funny story

Tonight Maddie sang me her latest song called

"THE SUMMER"

I was telling her how good it was and that I thought she was going to be a great singer one day. Then I told her that I was quite certain that she got her TALENT from me.

(Kidding of course but I love to tease her).. She then said.."No mama I don't think I got my talent from you" (SMART GIRL), and I said,

"Then where do you think you got it??" She said,

"I AM STARTING A WHOLE NEW GENERATION OF TALENT."

After laughing my butt off, I tried then to convince her that she had indeed gotten her talent from me by singing several made up crazy songs.

(In one I was rapper mama, another Super Country Mama... Basically awful.)

She, shockingly, was still not buying that she got her talent from me.

Suddenly, the song "I've Got the Music in Me" popped into my head and I thought this will do it. She will have to think that I have given her some kind of musical talent. Yeah right!!

I said, "Let me think a minute," and then I started singing

"I've got the Music in Me, I've got the Music in me."

She began laughing, and laughing, and laughing some more.

I said, "What? You don't like my song???" She then replied,

"That is not good mama..not good at all."

This is when I told her it was a real song..

She did not believe me!!

You-Tube videos to the rescue.. Boom, Bam, Voila!! Proof that it is a song and with a video of the singer Kiki Dee to boot!! Gotta love You Tube!!

She started watching it and said,

"See mama she has a beat and you, well you don't."

She then danced and danced to the real..

I've got the Music in me from 1975!!

I truly believe Ms. Maddie Mae has the music in her. One day years from now I hope that she will laugh at this story and realize that from the beginning, even as a baby, her mama always believed that she heard things in music. I also hope she will realize that her real singing talent was never from her mama, but given to her as a gift from God.
