The Ear of the Beholder

Many of you will know that I am no singer, whereas Alec's Dad has a beautiful voice. I have been joking for weeks that Alec may not enjoy the sounds of nice singing, given that his ear is tuned to the discordant melody of my voice.

The joke became a reality yesterday when Alec reached out to close the mouth of his singing Dad with his fingers, then smiled a loving smile when I immediately launched into verse one of My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean. Finally, the recognition I've been long seeking!
