The scene: Mom and son driving along on 99 northbound. Son is supposedly dozing in the backseat because it has been a long drive. Mom is singing with all her heart and soul along with the shuffle of songs on her iPod…
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the ni-e-iiiightDon’t stop believin’
Hold on to that feelin’
Streetlight people…whoa-ho-ho-ho-ho!
Of course Mom sounds awesome! Seriously, the acoustics in the mom-car are amazing.
Suddenly from the back seat comes a small voice…
Daniel: Mom, did you write that song?
Mom: What? No. No Daniel, I didn’t write that song.
Daniel: Oh. I thought you did because you sing it so good.
I told y’all I was awesome!
This boy knows awesome when he hears it!
Daniel is awesome for recognizing such talent!!! When Amara and I were at the beach a few weeks ago I started singing “Surfin’ USA” and she asked me if I just made it up! They do think we are awesome, don’t they?
