it's all in the ear

A little while ago, Nathan was singing as he cleaned up. This is quite common as he sings all the time. This time the song was one I didn't know he knew (or had even ever heard). I immediately recognized the tune as "Oh How I Love Jesus". However, as I listened closer, I heard "Oh hat on a Jesus...oh hat on a Jesu-us..."

Great! I had a lot of trouble with that as a kid, especially when I sang in Spanish. I don't even think I substituted real words - I just sang sounds that "sounded" right. It wasn't until I started to read that I was able to get the words right.

Actually, my most infamous wrong word right song instance came a couple of years ago. There's a Journey song that I had always sung "With Broken Arms" until Josh or Jake heard me, laughed in my face, and then corrected me. :-)

"So now I run to you with broken arms."

Nathan's version is catchier. I was singing it over and over at work today.
