Karaoke Revolution
Mothers and daughters usually have, at best, a complicated relationship. The relationship I've had with mine has been silent at best and destructive at its worst. It's true that over the last five years or so we've been able to make small chat, but haven't dared wander back into that place where we bond.
It seems that ever since my engagement I've been promoted to someone she wants to talk to and spend time with. The old adage is true, nothing brings family together like weddings and funerals. I've left my warrior youth behind and have embraced this newfound desire of hers to be in my life. In fact, this past weekend she came into Manhattan by herself ( something rarely done ) and spent the day with my booboo and I looking at photographers.
In between meetings she asked that I rev up my karaoke machine ( which started smoking when I plugged it in, good thing I had a backup! ). We sang karaoke together.
It was another surreal moment for mom and me.

The CRAZIEST SHIT? Her Mom was singing "No One" by Alicia Keys. I couldve sworn she was flashing gangsta signs and doin the soulja boy while singing it too.

That's hysterical! I immediately pictured her rockin' out to "Another one Bites the Dust" for some reason. Kareoke, bringing drunken hillbillies and families together since 1962.

Now if you would only invest in Guitar Hero III or Rock Band...we're talking SERIOUS family bonding.
