My oldest daughter (now 33) didn't talk much at all until she was nearly two. However, ever since then she has made up for it big time and never stops talking. I once made her a shirt that said "I'm talking and I can't shut up!" and it didn't phase her one bit. Well, back to the story. By the time she was three, she was talking up a blue streak and also loved to sing. My folks farmed and my mother loved to listen to the little local country radio station that played lots of oldies. So, one time when my DD was with my DMIL, at the grocery store she started singing, at the top of her lungs as usual, "Those Old Cotton Fields Back Home". A elderly man came around the end of an aisle, then just stood there and listened to her sing. When she finished he clapped for her and handed her a dollar, telling my DMIL that he hadn't heard that song in many years.
