The Special Number

Every kid always has their own version of things, just like this beautiful little girl I met in church some weeks ago. So the choir was rendering a popular special number to a rather sleepy audience, when this little girl suddenly rose up from her seat and started to sing her own version of the song, even the man snoozing with his mouth wide open at my side, woke up with a start and I myself was left speechless. 

The songwriter might not agree with the words she mumbled and jumbled together, but at least she managed to carry the perfect tune. She got everyone all excited and bubbly on their seat in an instance that the choir head had to ask her to join them on the stage. 

And that’s when the magic ended, just as the microphone was put in her hand or perhaps it was the round of applause that filled the room, because she suddenly went shy and called for her mummy.

Thinking back now, I am sure we all wish she continued.

Not too sad though, here’s another chance for us to enjoy our children’s creativity! Does your child sing at every chance they get?  This time around, there’s no need for microphones or stages to scare them away.
