As the kids and I headed somewhere after school we were listening to a CD that all the kids enjoy listening to. It all started out with happiness in the air and kids bobbing up and down to the music, until Alyssa started singing along with one of the songs. Well the eldest child, Chad, who for some reason thinks that it is his way or the highway (oldests...go figure)wasn't happy about this and arguments broke out. Not fun when there are 6 of you in a van. It was LOUD!
Anyways, I eventually got it under control when another song came on and that same child sang LOUDLY to that one. Now I have to admit that even MY nerves were getting a little raw from it all when Heath, following in his big brother's footsteps, said "STOP singing! It get on my newrves! We onwy wisten to music singing, not you!"
Then Bria chimed in to rescue her sister with her stubborn-I-am-only-going-to-say-this-once attitude, "If she wants to sing she can sing! It's a free country, Heathy!"

haha! That sounds a lot like my car rides. I have to say though, I'm siding with Chad. As an oldest child, I can tell you that someone has to be the boss. ;-P
funny! my kids yell the same to me. uh. listen to music is fun when you sing a long to it isn't it?
So this is what I have to look forward to on car rides?! Right now I only have one that can talk. I guess I should savor the relative peace and quiet.
That's what it's all about. In fact, I'm pretty sure that's in the Constitution...
I'm so glad my van is not the only place where this happens!!!!!!
I love the sibling dynamics at work!
Love Bria's statement..too cute!
true that . . .
If you want to wander down my road I’m home.
Too funny! Gotta love her comment!
we hear that a lot in the house when 3 kids are listening to iPods and all singing WAY to loudly off-key! :)
lol!! So far my girls each sing a different song, both really loud and trying to drown out the other. LOL!! Happy Friday and thanks for stopping by!!
I LOVE YOUR FAMILY!
To quote one of my brothers,
"There is freedom of speech is this family so shut up!"
LOL
Reminds me of the time this summer, when Heath was sleeping on the extra bed in my room. In the middle of the night, apparently awakened from my snoring, he yelled, "Aunt Chelle, STOP making that noise. I'm trying to sleep." ;-)
