My family sucks
I found a great deal on "Rock Band" at Sam's Club today. ($94)
Emma is practically perfect on drums, Jeff plays guitar really well and Maddie does vocals with perfect pitch. My family let me sing twice and I failed both times. Basically after my inept performance, they told me that I could be the roadie.

What kind of pie?
I vote for cherry. Last night's desert was cherry cheesecake, but I wish she had put the cherries in a pie instead.

Say it with a straight face, and they might believe you.

Maybe your mother can sing with them?

I wanted to get Chocolate Satin, which is Jeff's favorite pie, but they were out. I got him Lemon Merengue instead.
We also had Pumpkin, because it's one of the few types that Emma will eat.

She's just watching them. I think that she is happy that they fired me from the band. Schadenfreude is a concept that she totally gets.ulysses5019 wrote:PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:I found a great deal on "Rock Band" at Sam's Club today. ($94)

You bought "Rock Band", you should get to be in it. Who cares if you're on pitch or not?

My mom won't even take aspirin, she says that it makes her loopy.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

As Dirty Harry once said "A woman has to know her limitations"! I am "tone deaf" my self and yet in my extended family we have relatives who sing in choirs and one who sings professionally. They must have gotten their talents from the sides of the family that I am not related to.
