inspired by a conversation with tinker blue about 'bad' words and the possibility of just singing them annnd I had a 10 yr bout w/ spasmodic dysphonia which makes talking difficult at best however i could sing 'clear as a bell'
Sammy stuttered and stammered...he was a little timid and shy.
His words just wouldn't come out quite right no matter how he tried.
One day he heard his Mother...she was singing her favorite song.
Sammy knew each and every word by heart and decided to sing along.
His words came out so crisp and clear that he knew he'd found a way
to make them all come out just right...he'd need to sing...not say.
'I can tell my Dad about my scary thoughts. I'll just make them into a song.
They'll probably sound so silly that soon they'll all be gone.'
'Bad words will sound much nicer when they're sung instead of said.
I can sing 'gosh-darn' and 'pickle-dust' and not be sent to bed.'
When Sammy got a bit older his stammering went away
but we had all learned the lesson that it can be funner
to sing...than say.
This is a delight to read and learn from, Pat!
I think songs are such a help with memorizing things too :)
I can remember learning the Presidential boogie and knowing all the presidents in order at six, then the Fifty Nifty United States came the next year and I, too, would have been lost without singing!
Blessings,
Christine
