Thread: My Grandaughter

  1. #21
    A few years ago my sister and I went on a trip back to our home town with our daughters. At that time my niece was 10 and she told her mother she had a plan to share music in the car instead of having to listen to Elvis all the way there and back. Her mother apparently told her "good Luck" and smiled. When we got ready to leave and she presented me with her "plan", I turned around and handed her a CD player and some earphones......we (I) enjoyed Elvis all the way there and back. I had already figured something would be in the works by my niece - we think alike too much. (Mean "auntie" when it comes to Elvis).

    My daughter although doesn't buy Elvis CD's, enjoys him almost as much as I do but even she had had more than enough of him by the time the trip was over but mostly because of my singing along with him.

    im 15 years old and i honestly cant remember a time when elvis wasnt a part of my life.A cute story that i remember was when i was about 10 me and my family went to the beach because we had a cottage there,anyways we were outside in the backyard and my mom was blasting "devil in disguise" then out of no where my 7 year old brother jumps up on the table with a hair brush in hand and starts singing and dancing to the music. Some of the neighbors saw so they came and watched, my brother was definetly a hit that weekend!

    Last week I was babysitting my 6 year old nephew a few times. One day I brought along some Elvis CDs and played them. My nephew really loved the laughing version of "Are you lonesome tonight". I had to play it about 20 times.

    He also loved the early songs (sun era) and he was dancing along like crazy. When my sister came home she really wondered, what her son was doing there....

    My nephew also wanted to understand why Elvis was laughing while he sang "Are you lonesome tonight" so I translated "do you gaze...." for him. Them ha wanted to know how it is pronouced in english. So his first english sentence he knows, is "do you gaze at your ballhead and wish you had hair...."

    I teach in a primary school and during recess when kids are talking about singers or rock groups I hear Elvis` name mentioned many times. They are often singing his songs or doing the Elvis talk!! He is very well known, even by kids as young as 5 or 6. It just blows me away! One little boy in my Kindergarten class has his hair spiked every day ..... He calls it his Elvis hair and no one better not touch it!!!!

    That's real cute ! I've told my story , but my 2 year old grandson l
    knows Elvis' voice and dances to his music whenever he hears it.
    He's fascinated by his voice and any picture he sees of him.

    I bought a "new" Elvis cd today at Wal-Mart ($6.88! ) Tim - my youngest - confiscated it because it had his favorite songs - In the Ghetto and Suspicion.
    I knew he liked Elvis music, but this is the first time he took over playing my Elvis cds!
    Am I bringing them up right or what?


    Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
    And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
