I ain't no Celine

For years, my friends, boyfriends and cats suffered in silence. They attended, as a nun would attend a leprosy's patient, the numerous displays of my singing talent in my basement, in karoke events, and I do have a friend who still remembers, I'm sure, my epic version of "Proud Mary", Tina's version, with a live band, at a random bar on the South Shore of Montreal...

I always loved music and it was with great pleasure that I started putting on some shows for Victoria. She got from her aunt a great rattle, how convenient, in a shape of a microphone. Well, it's actually a flower, but it's a mic and I'm a professional singer, don't piss on my parade.

She has already developped a taste for the BeeGees and especially liked the version of Summer Nights that her dad and I put together in the living room. She hears music, makes some noises, shakes her legs, smiles; she's a happy bunny. But that was until yesterday.

At around 4pm yesterday, my life changed forever. We were happily listening to a random Galaxy's station and I suddenly got verrrrrry excited at the news that the next song was from Celine Dion.

ME: Victoria, oh you're going to love this one! It's Celiiiiiine!
HER: Who?
ME: It's Celine (Now standing up, mic in hand). And oh, yes sir, it's an old one. Way back, before, well forget it, I'll tell you all about it later.
HER: Yeah, yeah... whatever
ME: (Starting the first notes...)
HER: ARE YOU MENTAL? Why the hell are you screaming for?
ME: (Now singing louder)
HER: Waaaaaaaaaaaa Stop it now waaaaaaa this is terrible! I was amused but now it's just painfull and pathetic...waaaaaa...

I know now for sure, I ain't no Celine...

HER: My what? waaaaa
ME: Your daycare and this is Ginette!
HER: Who is she???? waaaaaaaa

ME: Oh,(gulp), it seems that Ginette got a puppy during her vacations
HER: What? waaaaaaaa

HER:(now cooing at Ginette) Well I seem to like you, you seem nice
ME: Oh great, let's meet the other little kids
HER: WHAT? I'm not going to be the princess here??? waaaaaa.
ME: See there's other kids; they are so cute
HER: Waaaaaaaaaa I want all the attention waaaaaaaaaa

I then told Ginette bye bye as all the kids were now crying....
