"I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Weiner..."

My niece, Emily, usually comes and spends some time with me in the summer or whenever she is up visiting her dad, my brother Eric. She is the cutest, sweetest, hyper, funny, and well behaved little gal! And since she has moved to Newport (near Jonesboro) she has picked up the craziest southern hick accent I've ever heard coming from a 11 year old. Anyways, she is a hoot and this morning we had our radio debut! We heard on KLRC 101.1 that they were having a talent show and anyone could call in and demonstrate talent for a chance to win a backpack full of back-to-school supplies. So I convinced her we needed to call in and sing! So we did. We called and sang the Oscar Mayer Weiner theme song. It was pretty hilarious. We sang less than amazing cuz we were trying hard not to laugh. But they did air it a few minutes later- my mom and Gloria both heard it! Unforunately we did NOT win the grand prize. (Some kid who could say words backwards beat us out.) But we had fun laughing at ourselves.
