Today, I was at work at a preschool. I was sitting outside with the kids and was getting bored so I started singing. One of the little girls runs up and puts her hand over my mouth and tells me to stop. I'm in a select chorus at my highschool and plan to major in choral studies in college. FML

Today, I performed in my school's choir concert. The girl next to me started to pass out, and I grabbed her so she wouldn't hit her head. After we were done performing and the curtains closed, my choir teacher dragged me off stage and said I was getting an F for "creating a distraction". FML

Today, our school had tryouts for chorus. Everybody sang a snippet of the song together until the teacher stopped us, saying it sounded awful. He singled me out and told me to sing alone. After I sang the part, he said, "Son, your gift to God will be silence." FML

Your song

Today, I auditioned for the musical at my school. Before I sang my song, I gave my music to the director. She said "Oh, I love this song!". After I sang it, she told me, "It's okay, I still like the song." FML

Today, I told my mom that I want to try out for a singing competition on TV, so I might be able to kick off my musical career. She convinced me to sing a song for her, so I did. Mid-way through, she lost it, burst into laughter, and told me to stay in school. FML

Today, whilst singing at school in front of 300 visiting primary school children I forgot the second verse to my song and let out an F*** word with the microphone still up to my face. FML

Today, I found out I have a bad singing voice. How? The choir judge decided to yell "STOP! Please just stop!" During my solo. In front of everyone. During the show. FML

Passing

Today, I sang at a retirement home with my school choir. Afterwards, we went to speak to the old people, just to get to know them a little. The first woman I shook hands with asked, "Are you a boy or a girl?" FML

Today, I was practicing for a choir concert that I have next week. My mom walked into my room and listened to me for a little while. After I finished the last song, she smiled, patted me on the head and said, "It's okay honey, I can't sing either." FML

Today, while working as a swim instructor, I started singing the hokey pokey to get all the kids used to putting their faces in the water. One of the kids was covering his ears. When I asked him why, he said "because you were singing." He's 3. FML

Today, I had been practicing for a solo in a choir I’m in. I finally got it down and was all ready to audition. On audition night, the choir director let me try out, then decided all the sopranos should sing it. FML

Don't take it too seriously. I know when I was younger, I got embarrassed when any of my family members would sing, regardless of whether they were good or not. I know you're not any of their parents, but it might be something similar.

Don't sing in public. People don't want to hear it and it's rude. You wouldn't go around screaming, would you?

Definitely believable. But don't take it too personal.

I once did something similar to that when I was in preschool. A classmate of mine was singing "I'm Proud to Be an American" and I told him to shut up. It's just a little kid thing, don't worry.

Like pretty much everybody has said, don't take it seriously. Maybe the kid didn't like the song, or maybe they just don't like people singing randomly - i know i dont

sometimes when kids do that it doesn't mean that your a bad singer. they probably just don't want to hear anyone sing.

What kind of jobs do you get with a degree in choral? sounds like a waste of money to me

Ok, #21. It was hardly public. Haha. I was in a back yard down a dirt road (I live in a small town) with only children as company. I though I might be able to sing along to my iPod. Sorry. And everyone. If you don't like it just hit "you deserved it" and move on. Don't have to make me feel bad. :p (and I didn't take it personally, thought it might have been a good experience for this. and it made it so who was right?)

Just because a little kid doesn't like the way you sing doesn't mean you're bad. I doubt many kids these days like chorus songs, or the style people in chorus sing.
