John and I were sitting at the table munching on a quick lunch. As we wound down I, in my normal fashion, just began singing the song currently bouncing through my head. It is very rare that I don't have a song floating around in there and when everything gets quiet, without even realizing, it tends to squirm its way out. I hardly have a "sing in public" quality voice but when I hear music, it fills up every inch of me and I can't help but sing and tap along with the beat. All that to say, it was not abnormal for me to just fill a quiet moment with a portion of the song of the day. Thinking about it, I began to talk to John about how I loved this new artist I found and what the song was talking about and mid-sentence, he jumps up and runs to his computer. "Listen to this Bowling for Soup cover of Hit Me Baby One More Time..." I looked at him and said, "Way to ruin a moment. I was singing and sharing my thoughts about the song and there you go". So he hops back out of his desk chair and back into the dining table chair across the table from where he had sat previously. "No, the moment is gone". "The moment is gone from that chair, see the moment is still here in this chair". "Nope, sorry, it is passed" And then he breaks out in his falsetto singing the song I had sung earlier, of course knowing none of the words but mimicking the tune. I couldn't help but laugh which of course caused more messed up lyrics and a bolder falsetto as I smiled and laughed along. He is so easy to love and I feel so lucky to be the one he loves in return. Of course, ask me about it the next time he has placed my only pair of black shoes at the bottom of a bin of clothes when cleaning and I am frantically searching for them at 8:05 the next morning and you might get another response...
