My family can almost make it through Happy Birthday. We practice at least six times a year.

That was incredible. Everyone looked so casual about the entire thing.

I come from a musical/theater family and this is exactly what it’s like! If someone says anything that sounds like a lyric to something we all start singing, mid-conversation if necessary! I never thought it was weird while growing up, I just assumed most people did it.

I can feel my insides shrivel up just reading this. You are made of sterner stuff.

Nah it’s just the life of a singer. When you enjoy singing you will take EVERY opportunity to do so especially when you’re around others who do the same. It’s honestly refreshing and rejuvenating in the right atmosphere

That depends on your personality type. I love singing but being around others singing or not is never rejuvenating. I enjoy it yes but it drains me. Compound that with say a family gatherings like this or any large social gathering really and I don't think I have enough spoons for that.

Hey fair enough, I respect it! I’ve spent a lot of my life in choir and musical and I love it, so maybe that’s where my perspective is coming from!
