4 born to fall short

My roommates always tell people i sing like Mariah Carey which is actually a problem. Once people hear me sing, they are very disappointed. I mean, Mariah is one of the best singers out there... so it's kinda hard to compete.

I wish they'd tell people I sang like William Hung.

Then, no matter how I sang, i'd get a thunder round of applause after every performance. This reminds me of a scenario that has been repeated for my entire life.
Dani: "Mom! Mom! Guess what I just got on my test?!!"
Mom: very excited "A 100!?"
No, mom. I only got a 98. Sorry to disappoint you.
When will she ever learn that your first guess should be somewhere around 50%?

  3. Funny, Danielle. You will disappoint your own children, Danielle. Every parent does. Still when your parents get it about 98% right, they are really doing something great! Kari, you are a great Momma!
