Don't rain on my parade

My husband and I are officially Gleeks. Translation: We love the show "Glee". Billy really put up a fight against this show in the beginning. Apparently the fact that he was a baseball and football player in high school gave him the impression that the glee club was full of dorks... Ridiculous, right? He wasn't interested in watching it, until I forced him to sit through a couple of episodes. Now he's the one who asks me when Glee is coming back, and he's the one who pulls out the soundtrack and skips ahead to his favorite songs while we're in the car. I love it. But I guess the downside of this shared adoration might be the following conversation:


Billy: Hey, did you hear that Glee is doing an open casting call? 

Shalay: Yeah, that's pretty cool. 

Billy: I think you should audition. 

(Here's where I pause to think to myself, awwwww! My husband is just the sweetest.)

Shalay: Aw, babe that's so nice. But I'm pretty sure they're looking for classically trained singers. I mean, I know I'm good and all, but I think the producers might want a performer of a higher caliber. Ya know?

Billy: No. I think you should audition to be, like, the girl in the Glee club who really sucks.

Shalay: I'm sorry. What?

Billy: You could be the new girl that joins Glee, but you can't sing at all. And they have to keep you in the group because Mr. Schuester forces everyone to be nice to you. You'd be really good at being a horrible singer! 


Let me clarify this to my readers: HE. WAS. SERIOUS. This was not a joke. My husband seriously thinks I'd be the perfect person to cast as the horrible singer in the Glee club. I honestly don't know whether to be flattered that he thinks I'm that good of an actress, or offended that I'm obviously that horrible a singer....


Yes. I think it's obvious that I would totally fit in here.

I can't believe he said that in all seriousness to you! That sounds like something my dear Husband would say to me, though. :)

I don't know if I'd be flattered or offended, but you'd be famous and rich if you were on the show, right?

This is hilarious - this is so something my husband would say and then try to retract once he saw I was offended lol. Heart Glee :)

They might cast you as the 'horrible singer' but there is endless possibilities for your story line. You can become the bangin' singer who shows up everyone! :)

You may want to clarify to your darling husband that if you get on the show and become famous, famous cute boys will want your digits. Does he really want the added stress of all that?

I watch it too. I have a small crush on Mr. Schuester.
