What could be more interesting than spending the evening doing activity with lots of 'adults'..
Yes, I just have spent 2hrs practicing on Church Choir. But today is friday,not saturday that I have regular practice with Gita Seraphim Choir (GSC) which all members are almost the same age as mine.
This is friday, the day I engroup with many Dads and Moms. Yes, parents, people whose age equals my age in double, even multiple.
My mom asked me to join our church choir singing in the good friday. Well, at the first place I thought it would be interisting to sing with many old(er) people, who are experience. But the interst was disappeared rightaway as we start to sing the first song. They, and me unfortunately, sing all of their own. Sopran, Alto, Tenor, Bass part written in the partiture were sung differently as we got too 'creative' in making another sound.
Not being mean (and high-profiling), but I can sing better. Of course, not better than Josh Groban, Maria Callas, Mariah Carey, you name it , but at least I know notes and how to sing it, 'appropriately'.
What makes worse? As I tried to correct them, they were just still doing on their own, MISTAKES, which is false to the sharp. I didn't know, whether it was all happened because of their incapability to sing it, or 'unexperienced', or because they, parents, are stubborn, as they are getting older. The best part was they talked too much, even when other choir-mates were practicing their part. Too much of carelessness. They were also throwing jokes, like us, which was not cool for me. I think it was awkward to see your parents acting like youth (but it's cool to have a youth spirit). What a playground there!
Somehow, they are still our parents (why our? sons+daughters also there). Looking at how they act, it's like our reflection maybe in the next 20-30 years, which I'm not interested to be. Very natural, as we get older, reaching half century, well thanks to God, we will act like what parents should be done. But I don't wanna be a stubborn parent who is getting 'cold' when my son/daughter try to correct me how do I look, how bad I am when cooking the breakfast. they aren't on my parent-guide list.
Quite awkward to involve in the situation like that, but "Dads+Moms" playground is just another reflection of how 'stupid' we will be
