From buch@n

Two nights ago the girls ran into the lounge room with a big, "Ta Dah!". They had obviously planned something together whilst getting into their pyjamas. Caitlin started singing, Good Old Collingwood For Ever and Hannah was about to join in when she was struck with stagefright - she couldn't remember the words. A few seconds later she got something out; "Happy Birthday to you". Just the first line before the tears exploded. She was devastated.

Then last night as I was working on the computer she stood beside me and launched into Happy Birtday the best and most confidently she has ever sung it.
