A Brownie’s last song

Amy in brownies uniform singing Neon Lights

My daughter is 10 years old already. Last night I attended her last evening as a Brownie (Is stayed in bed unwell). Next week she’ll be starting Guides. The troop is small, no more than 8 or so little girls. They performed to earn their entertainers badges. Sweet, corny jokes were recited from children’s annuals and parents dutifully groaned, the Sky Boat Song was tapped out on a little keyboard and we clapped and my daughter… my daughter sang Neon Lights a capella and her dad was so utterly, utterly touched.
