It’s amazing to me how much kids can pick up on the lyrics of a song when they only hear it every once in a while. We spend – on average – less than 10 minutes in the car every day as a family. I drive the kids 1.1 miles to school. We drive 1.1 miles home. We might go to the grocery store once a week. (I try to go by myself, but you know how that goes…). So when does “one” have time to learn the lyrics to songs?
Piper is a huge Kesha fan and – somehow – seems to be able to memorize her lyrics quicker than I can even realize that the girl has a new song on the charts.
We were in a spec home last weekend and Piper was listening to Pandora. I happened to notice that she was singing her little heart out and captured this clip:

Isn’t that the way it goes? In thinking about it, I can sing along to a song word-for-word long before I can memorize text from a technical manual for work or something that is “required” of me to do.
I guess I need to start setting stuff to music … spelling words, chore lists, meal plans … we’ll be like an episode of Glee singing everywhere we go!
