Mmm! Musical Mom Meme

I've seen several people post the mp3 meme with the song titles from their shuffled playlist inserted as the answers to the various questions. Usually several of song answers are quite apropos, some in an ironic sense and some spot-on.

Because I mostly use my iPod as a relaxation tool when I can't sleep or don't feel well, not to mention my love for hymns, I was a little hesitant to try this, thinking it would surely be a dud. But when Julie tagged me for the mom version of this game, I decided to give it a try. True to form, several answers made me smile!

Of course, #1, 2, & 28 couldn't have been more perfect! Some of the songs within the medleys (like #5 & 17) absolutely cracked me up. And some looked like there was a whole 'nother story that wasn't being shared! (#17, 24, 26)

If you haven't done this, give it a try! Here are the instructions:
1. Put your iPod (or MP3 player) on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS!
4. Tag some Moms you admire who could use a laugh and a song.

And let me know so I can come peek at the way your music writes your story as a mom!
