My friend Jennifer invited Jason, my mom and I over for dinner at her house tonight. I of course accepted cause they are great cooks and it was BBQ food. (How could I say no?)
I drive us up to their house, we have a FANTASTIC meal, and then it is time to drive home. Anyone that knows Jason, or me, know that we listen to quite a variety of music. This particular evening, we were listening to KJUL, 104.7 (one of my fav's). We turned onto La Madre, maybe 2 miles from home and Superstar by the Carpenters comes on.
Mom and Jason both softly started out singing the famous words...
Long ago, and oh so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
I looked at Jason shocked cause he actually knew the words! I knew the song, but as usual, not the right words. We turned onto Spring Falls and they were still at it...
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you're not really here, it's just the radio
I was totally digging this situation. I was feeling a Sweet Caroline moment coming very quickly, and as we turned onto Summer Glen, and as we drove past the house, I cranked the stereo and we belted...
DON'T YOU REMEMBER YOU TOLD ME LOVED ME BABY
YOU SAID YOU'D BE COMING BACK AGAIN THIS WAY, BABY
BABY, BABY, BABY, BABY, OH BABY
I LOVE YOU, I REALLY DO
We drove around our neighborhood til the song was over cause I was totally digging this hilarious moment. Why do I love my husband? This is one reason why. Why do I love my family? This is one reason why.
