nicole's story (a guest post)

I wrote a song for my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary.  It was short and sweet and sounded like it belonged in the 1950s.

When I was in the studio recording it, the engineer put up a screen in front of the mic.  "It's a popper-stopper," he said.  "It is to make sure you don't pop your p's."

"Oh," I responded immediately, without even thinking.  "There are no p's in the song," I told him.  

He read the lyrics and looked askance at me.  There really were no p's.

Haha! Did you really know there were no P's, or was it a wild guess? Or did you know, but you forgot you knew, and you spurted it out, and then had a panic moment of doubt, and then swell with confidence later during the moment of askance?

I hope all that made sense. This was funny though.

I think I knew it deep down inside and the fact burst out of me before I was certain it was quite true. So I was rather glad to be proved correct.
