[ god save the queen! ]

sooooooo... oscar, my 7 year old, had piano last night & they've been playing the star spangled banner for what seems like years now!! & no disrespect but i've heard it many many times now. oscar, goodness only knows why, asked me to sing along with him once... & oh i sang... i left our ears bleeding!! even i was pulling faces at the notes that were tripping out of my mouth!! that may have even been the beginning of his ear infection come to think of it...

so when i hear a new tune being tickled on the old ivory's i can't help but turn my face up to the heavens & say THANK YOU GOD!!!

listening closer... i hear it's my national anthem!! GOD SAVE THE QUEEN! HOORAY!!! so when mr tom, the piano teacher, is leaving i tell him how much i like the new song & maDe a comment about feeling patriotic & the queen bla bla bla. mr tom replies... er no, that's America (My Country, 'Tis of Thee)!! WHAT!! THEY STOLE OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM!! is that allowed??

i wonder if the Queen knows about this!! well she will as soon as i find the number to the palace!!
