For No REal Reason

I don’t know why I thought of this while eating breakfast this morning but when I did it made me chuckle. 

When I was in the 5th grade choir was “MANDITORY”  Yep everyone went to choir and I hated it.  The big Christmas program was coming up, (not sure it was Christmas, maybe another reason to sing) and we had all these special assemblies to get ready for it.

It was at one of these large gatherings in the gym that I noticed one of my best friends wasn’t there.  The next time I saw him I asked “Hey where were you during choir today?”  He said he didn’t have to go any more.  His voice was changing and they let him stay in the home room during choir practice and read or study or do homework.

So what was this voice is changing deal I inquired, he said his voice just started cracking and he couldn’t sing high notes anymore.  Holy Cow that’s all.  The next time we had choir practice guess who’s voice started to crack and suddenly was singing off key?

The teachers were very nice about it.  They apologized to me as the escorted me from the gym and said it was all very natural and I would be okay.  I was FREE, I never had to go to another rehersal.  I had no idea what this was all about, but I loved it.  I’m sorry Mrs. McClelland, but I hated choir and singing and stuff.  I faked it. : )
