Superstar

If you ask Sassy what she wants to be when she grows up, there is absolutely no hesitation. "I'm going to be a superstar!" she says. She lives for her "singin'" lessons each week and would much rather sing Lady Gaga than anything else. This past week, she taught herself "the swim meet song," also known as our National Anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner."

The song went through several transformations before it entered its current form. First, we had a version that went, "the ram ports we watched were so gallantly steaming." Then we added to it, "and the home of the PARADE" which had her voice teacher in a giggle fit.

After many car ride renditions, I think we finally got her to realize that nothing is steaming and that we're talking about the home of the brave, not the parade. But you can see for yourself. . .

If you'd like something a bit more contemporary, you might enjoy this rendition of Lady Gaga, complete with gutteral-like growling. . .

And finally, if you're more into Ke$ha, you might enjoy this rendition of "Tik Tok."

Have a great weekend! Something tells me mine will be full of music. . .
