Trust me, you'll have fun
Maria's efforts to get Jon to relax and have fun continued. It was Thursday and it was their night out and Maria had come up with something new for them to do. Karaoke. She'd bet a million dollars that he had never done karaoke in his life, or even been to a place where they had karaoke. It was time to introduce the Boyscout to karaoke.

She waited outside for him to show up.

	"We have that in common. Dad is a big Cash fan, so I heard a lot of it. Yeah... set." he agrees, getting ready to practice another tone entirely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The two of them performed the song and Maria had a lot of fun with it. It was much more fun singing with someone else. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Its not perfect - lack of practice, but he does manage to do a pretty good Cash impression, at least in tone and ability to carry all the right notes. He also seems to genuinely have fun with it. Enough to go put in for a couple more songs when they're done. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She kissed his cheek and stood up. Her name was just called for a song. "Good to know." She laughed and then went up to sing "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
