A Howling Chorus

Maddie does not like the sound of fire truck sirens. She is always the first to break into song when they are near by. She'll sit up, throw her head back and howl for all she's worth. It's pretty amusing.

This morning I watched as she began to sing. Next Mickey raced over, threw back his head and joined in. In the next instant Sidney ran up stairs, looked at Maddie, looked at Mickey and he too decided to sing. It was a howling chorus. Something you normally only see animated in a Disney movie.

If they ever change the sound of a siren on a firetruck the sounds of dogs howling up a storm would be a good alternative. I was torn between letting them sing another chorus or stopping the madness. Oh, for my phone, or a video camera, to catch this hot new group crooning together.

They were pretty cute, and incredibly loud. Only Kobe refused to join in song. Come to think of it I have never heard Kobe sing. Perhaps the Prince is too dignified and that's why he sent Sidney in to sing for him.
