Children's Choir Antics

I used to teach CC at our former church and begged out at this church because I am after all a teacher and I spend tons of time with kids. However, my husband needed me and I said yes...reluctantly. This year of CC is almost over and it has been crazy stressful. The last two Sundays we've taken our collective choirs to sing at local nursing homes. It has been a sweet blessing to all involved. My choir is 1st through 3rd grades. I have usually 5 or 6 boys and 11 or 12 girls. They are busy and love singing. This particular day we were rehearsing for our upcoming performances and I had only 2 boys present. One is such a charmer...and he knows it. He calls himself "a ladies man" ...who told him that? Anyway. The other boy is usually pretty rowdy, but has a great singing voice. We were singing and signing "How Great is Our God" by Chris Tomlin. Mr. Rowdy decided to sing at the TOP of his lungs and with full vibrato. Nothing could sway his worship! Mr. Charmer was becoming more and more annoyed by it and finally, while putting his hands on his hips announced to Mr. Rowdy, "Dude. You're singing Oprah!" I had to correct him with two things. 1. We do not criticize another's singing voice and 2. The word he was looking for was Opera. .........LOL. Makes me laugh every time I think about it.
