There's Always a Song by Brenda Whiteside

I do this thing with words and songs. My mother does it and my sister, too. It's like a family female thing. If someone says something that reminds us of a line in a song, we sing it. My sister and I worked together for a while and everyone in the office thought we were funny--a little off--but amusing. I don't always sing it out loud because then I would be labeled impaired. But I do it in my head and some times those songs get stuck there for days.

It goes like this: I met two brothers whose last name was Williams. I sing in my head every time I see them - "Those Williams boys, yeah, they still mean a lot to me, Hank and Tennessee. I guess we're all gonna be what we're gonna be. So what do you do with good ol' boys like me?"

My granddaughter asked me if I'd take her to the pool tomorrow. "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll love you tomorrow..."

Hubby asks if I'd like to go out for a cheeseburger. "I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes, big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer. Well good God almighty which way do I steer for a cheeseburger in paradise."

Gosh it's hot. "Hot town, summer in the city, back of my neck getting dirty and gritty."

Do you want to celebrate? "There's a party goin' on right here, A celebration to last throughout the years, So bring your good times and your laughter too, We gonna celebrate your party with you."

You get the idea. I'm not sure how annoying it is for others, but we have fun with it!

The heroine in my next release, Post War Dreams, is based on my mother's life in the 40's. And, yes, she loves to sing. Check my website for news on the release date. www.brendawhiteside.com
