Thanks for letting me down easy

This morning I was driving Robert to preschool when Cee-lo's song, Forget You, came on.  I started to sing along.  I continued singing the song after I turned off the car and was unbuckling the boys from their car seats.  Now, I admit that I'm a terrible singer and I sing off-key.  I'm so bad that I wouldn't want to have to listen to myself sing.  So here is how Robert tells me to stop:

"Mommy, I know you love that song, and I love that song, too, but you gotta stop singing it!"  And, he says this very gently to me, as though he is the parent and I am the child.

When Jack gets annoyed by my singing, it goes a little something like this:
"No, mama!  No sing! NO.  SING.  Noooooooo!"
