After Papa Hot Wings gave his opening speech, we ate a little and got dancing. Papa Hot Wings and I danced to “Gracie” by Ben Folds. He literally picked this song because of the first two lines.

“You can’t fool me, I saw you when you came out

You got your momma’s taste but you got my mouth”

My mom loved these two lines as well. They think it really represents what happened to me. I like my chic style like Mama. Papa can be a slob. And I am pretty radical in my thinking and debate politics with my family a lot like Papa does. Mama isn’t into the debating so much.

Gracie by Ben Folds

You can’t fool me, I saw you when you came out

You got your momma’s taste but you got my mouth

And you will always have a part of me

Nobody else is ever going to see

Gracie girl

With your cards to your chest walking on your toes

What you got in the box only Gracie knows

And I would never try to make you be

Anything you didn’t really want to be

Gracie girl

Life flies by in seconds

You’re not a baby Gracie, you’re my friend

You’ll be a lady soon but until then

You gotta do what I say

You nodded off in my arms watching TV

I won’t move you an inch even thought my arm’s asleep

One day you’re gonna want to go

I hope we taught you everything you need to know

Gracie girl

And there will always be a part of me

Nobody else is ever gonna see but you and me

My little girl

My Gracie girl

Did anyone else pick their parent dance songs based purely on a couple lines of the song?
