You know those annoying people who are always singing to themselves? My dad was surrounded by them.

That is awesome. You are incredibly talented. How do you do this? (Or better yet, find the time?!)
Kiran-
Thanks! I save cards, junk mail, and packaging and occasionally buy pretty scrap paper for the girls’ dresses. Then I just cut it up and assemble! It takes a long time, but I love doing it.

Your Dad’s eyebrows are the best part of this for me. So expressive!
-
I was going to say the same thing!
-
Poor Dad. He’s always had to put up with so much girlness.
-
-
-
I’M the girl that goes around singing Everyrhing…
-
:D Glad you can relate!
-
-
Parrotheads are always welcomed to sing at my table. :)
-
Especially on Margaritaville nights?
-
-
So fun! You are a great talent. And I agree with booksnob… your dad’s eyebrows are great!
-
Aw, thanks!
-
-
oh, so outnumbered. this had me giggling. wonderful work.
-
Poor Dad. We obeyed the rule ever since, though. Sometimes Charlotte still does it, but she is swiftly reminded.
-
-
How refreshingly interesting! :)
-
Thanks!

I can relate. -
My dad is always the one singing songs about food. He’s trained me to do the same, and now I can’t stop myself! I think maybe my house rule will be “Must sing for food.”
-
Hahaha! Sounds like a great rule to me.
-
-
Love it! A great read, as always.
-
Thank you!
-
-
LOL! This is so adorable and GREAT!
-
Glad you liked it!

Reblogged this on maternity peeve.

My sister used to put my name into every song she said. Oh how we’ld fight about it :P
Love you dad, my dad dealt with our silliness the same way!-
‘your dad’ I mean
-
It’s amazing how sisters always know just how to push buttons.
-
-
These are always so much fun! Love the ketchup bottle.
-
Thanks for noticing!
-
-
Mom is always the last to know…

-
haha, so true
-
-
Love it, especially mom at the end…so JakiX3!!
-
Mom will always be my very favorite singer.
-
-
My 4yo is a sing-all-the-timer and it drives me batty (maybe if she could rhyme a little better?)! I can totally get where your dad is coming from, poor guy is totally outnumbered.
-
Aw, budding young talent. I think this rule saved my father’s sanity.
-
-
LUUURRRRVE….
-
:D
-
-
Loved your dad chewing!
-
I love their chewing faces :D
-
That’s also what I loved! I could tell Dad was getting a little irritated even before I scrolled down to see him go into full “troll voice” mode. Mom, clueless as usual. Looks like any night at my dinner table. You’re awesome.
-
-
Just so ya know…you are reaching a wider audience than you might think…
My daughters, ages 6 and 8, also LOVE your blog. They even get peeved with me when I read your new posts without them. Their favorites are: House Rule No. 2 and the one about Alien Abduction.-
Aw! I’m so glad they like them! And they like the alien abduction one! That is one of my very favorites.

-
Ha…I love this! I’m always singing to myself (or humming) and my family is always telling me to shush. I even sing at work. I think it’s a subconscious habit, I don’t even realise I’m doing it. Love your work by the way, you are very talented!
-
Thank you! You sound like my sister Charlotte :)
-
-
Your poor dad. When you all go round at Xmas does he get really anxious?
-
LOhhhohooohooolol!
-
hahaha! No, we all obey his rule. And we don’t even wake him up at 4 AM to open Christmas presents anymore Now that we are all adults, we’ve calmed down and are now perfectly content to wait until 6 AM.

Jimmy Buffet does not say “potahto.”
-
Yeah, it’s more like “puhtaytuh.”

Well I think we know where you all got it from. So cute! I nearly cried because I could see this playing out at my house. Love it!
-
:) My mom is always singing. I love it.
-
-
Brilliant! My 3 do the same. Oh their poor dad!
-
:) I have a little montage in my brain of my father saying “No singing at the table” over the years. The dinner table is a time for peace.
-
-
this is wonderful!!
-
Thank you! :)
-
-
My father used to sing at the table, “It had to be stew…Meat and beans wouldn’t do.”
-
That is so cute.
-
-
Hah! I am showing this to my dad. He thought he had enough to contend with when it was just me singing all of the time…
-
Haha! Poor fathers. No mercy for their eardrums.
-
-
Hahaha, mom saves the day… For the girls anyway. Poor dad.
-
:) It became a firm house rule, at least, and we tried not break it!
-
-
Hahahah that’s hilarious!
-
Thanks! :D
-
-
I love yor dad! I could so relate to his plight, though nowadays my kids are the ones begging me not to sing.
Is it weird that I’m now hungry for french fries after looking at some tiny beige rectangles?
-
I don’t know if it’s weird, but I got hungry for a cheeseburger while making these. I haven’t had a cheeseburger in 6 years, since I stopped eating meat. A veggie burger is just not the same. Sigh…
-
I hear ya. A juicy cheeseburger. *Sigh* The one bit of meat (well, maybe a nice grilled pork chop) that still looks good to me.
I have a tasty black bean burger recipe. But, yes, not quite the same.

-
This is so much like my house, it’s slightly unnerving. :P I adore this.
-
:) Thanks! Sounds like there a lot of kids who sing for their supper!
-
There are! Ten of us, to be exact. It was quite understandable when Dad started taking his meals into the next room as soon as prayer was done. :P Well, from singing and because the table got too small. x)

-
I am pretty sure about 95% of my brain contains song lyrics…poor whomever is sitting or standing beside me. This is fantastic!
-
hahaha!
-
-
Love it!
-
Thank you! :)
-
-
My dad may have only been surrounded by two daughters instead of five, but he can definitely relate! That was a house rule for us growing up too! This post took me back :-)
-
Hahaha! I knew some other households had to have had this rule.
-
-
The characters chewing their food are so well done. Excellent as always!
-
Thanks! I love when they chew.
-
-
The milk jug and ketchup bottle are too fun!
-
Thanks! I think it’s so fun to make these tiny little details.
-
-
This made me laugh. A little while ago someone asked me what I missed most about my sister as she had been out of country for some time and my reply was, “I actually miss living in a musica!” My sister, even in her 30’s is constantly singing and dancing around the house.
-
Cute,and now I have the French Fry potatoe song stuck in my head :)
-
hahahahahahaha… :D Cant stop laughing
