We’re a fairly musical family. There’s always music playing or being sung. Shoot, most of the time there’s multiple sources of music competing for the ears of everyone in the room. We have a “no tv” policy during family dinners, but I’ll leave music playing in the background. Most of the time it’s 80’s music, because my priorities are solid and well-thought out.

Not all of our kids sing, but all of our kids like music. Levi can name just about every song from just about every era since the 80’s within the first 3 notes–no joke. Sadie only has to hear a song once and she knows all the lyrics. Isaac could sing all the words to 80’s rock tunes before he knew English.

But the topper happened the other day while Charlie was taking a bath.

Kim and I were in our bedroom folding laundry while Charlie was splashing and playing in our tub. Somehow or other we got to singing “Take On Me” by the fabulous 80’s band A-ha. I dropped out when it got to the really high part, but Kim kept going.

So did Charlie!

He joined right in and sang the lyric, in tune, right on key!

After we stopped laughing, the family gathered ’round the tub to finish off one more chorus. Cause you know, the family that can harmonize in the bathroom might just have a future!
