Our own American Idol

I love to watch American Idol and I let my kids watch it with me.  It's funny because I remember this time last year and how Aubrey would say, "You're going to Hollywood!"  Now this year, both Cameron and Aubrey are into it.  This last week one night Ryan was working late, so we played American Idol.  I was the judge and Aubrey and Cameron took turns being the contestants.  They would stand on their little bench and I would ask their name, which sometimes they would make up, and how old they were, which they would also make up.  Then I and either Aubrey or Cameron would vote (we always said yes) and they would pick up the ticket and run down the hall.  It was funny to see how they picked up on all the aspects of the show.  Who knows, maybe someday they really will be on American Idol, only if they don't inherit my singing abilities. However, I won't let them try out for the show if it's obvious they can't sing!

The famous golden ticket.
