Well, you asked for it.
Or, at least, some of you did.
I don’t have the video of me shoving gently removing my brother from my path, but I do have one of my first childhood performances – thanks to Mama.
(She recorded it from the TV with her camera, hence the quality, but thanks, Mama! Yes, I’m sure there’s a better way to do this, but I don’t know it.)
Anyway – that’s me, three years old at the church advent party, singing The Friendly Beasts, and not a trace of stage fright.
And notice how there’s no microphone? That’s the most surprising part, because now, apparently, I’m much more like Shy Ronnie.
I miss that fearlessness.
What do you miss about being a kid?

I can’t understand anything but you are ADORABLE!!! This is exactly why cameras and camcorders are so very, very important.
I basically miss being carefree and not having to worry about Big Adult Stuff. So much more fun.
Don’t worry – I don’t understand a word either.
And I totally agree with you. Big Adult Stuff’s just no fun.
It’s a little pitchy, Dawg.
Just kidding. Very cute.
That’s it. Totally firing my voice coach.
Still no clue what you’re saying, but those lungs!
I know the song and I can’t even understand myself.
I miss having no real worries like bills and work
Of all the videos I have wished I could watch at work, this is definitely Numero Uno. *damn* the restricted access!
So freaking cute!
I miss how slowly time passed. Do you remember being five or 10 and someone telling you that you had to wait 30 minutes to do something? It took f-o-r-e-v-e-r for those 30 minutes to crawl past! Now, I look at my watch, and then seemingly 5 seconds later, an hour has passed. I hate that feeling of time flying past.
