Lullabye in The irresistible urge to rant, riff and ramble

I have no vocal talent.

I have been humming one tune for more than four years now, ever since Xueling allowed herself to be put to bed without Caffeine^, and I found that (a) she needed music to be soothed and (b) I have, as I said, no vocal talent.

I managed to put one song together to hum.

The result has been... interesting.

Tonight:

Xueling: Daddy, sing the Blue Rain song. And all your other favourite songs.

Me: ...I can't sing.

Xueling: But you can sing Blue Rain.

Me: I can hum it. And I only know how to hum that one song. And I had to practice all the time to hum that.

Xueling: Then that's my favourite song. Sing it for me, Daddy.


Note: I would be more touched if she didn't throw the word "favourite" around so freely.

^Caffeine as in my wife, as in Xueling's mother, not as in the stimulant.
