(Actually, he really resembled this singing turtle/keyboard thing that I *swear* I did not imagine but for the life of me cannot find an image of... I digress)Anyway, there stood Christopher, moving his mouth in an inaudible, yet slightly familiar way. My lip reading has improved greatly since working at the pool, which is helpful since my ears are usually too waterlogged to hear much of anything anyway. Still, I couldn't quite figure out what this kid was doing until his mom said, "He's singing to you..." Ahh... of course. I took a minute to think about the way his mouth had moved.
"Christopher, are you singing Human Nature?" I asked when he stepped into the pool.
"Yes! It's by Michael Jackson!" he said. (He's 4, by the way...)
"Well, sing it louder!"
He obliged, soft little lisp and all:
If They Say -Why, Why, Tell 'Em That Is Human Nature
Why, Why, Does He Do Me That Way
I had him sing it a few more times to me and to anyone who passed by. Cutest thing ever if you ask me!
