- My singing caused our high school choir director to admit that he had
- finally met someone who was hopeless. My singing causes small children to
- turn around in church and fix me with painful stares. My singing caused
- my own children to plead, "Please, Mommy, don't sing." My singing became
- confined to December 15, my dad's birthday, when I would sing "Happy
- birthday" to him. My singing has now ceased entirely.
