Comments on 'Starry Starry Night'Something woke me up. I heard what sounded like voices coming from the living room. That couldn't be, though. No one was home but us.
Groggily I shoved my blankets aside and rubbed my little eyes, listening. I couldn't quite make out what was being said, but with the stubborn, nosy determination of any 4 year-old, I was going to find out.
I carefully moved toward the door. The only light in my room came from the streetlight outside that threw a dim, gauzy light across the floor. I reached my door and opened it cautiously. I could get in trouble for being up past my bedtime, so I did my best to stay quiet.
I tiptoed around the corner and peered into the living room. I saw mom standing, eyes closed, swaying gently next to the record player wearing our big, clunky headphones. Her soft, melodic voice carried over to me.
_"Starry, starry night. Flaming flowers that brightly blaze, Swirling clouds in violet haze..."_
I smiled and watched her for a while, then crept back to bed. She never knew I was there.2008-05-13T13:17:03Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/30159Comment on Starry Starry Night<p>So awesome, and so well described.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30159?basename=620312008-05-13T13:17:03Zthebetweenspacehttp://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspaceComment on Starry Starry Night<p>Awesomely done! : )</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30159?basename=616872008-05-12T00:12:36ZYodaOnCrackhttp://ficlets.com/authors/yodaoncrackComment on Starry Starry Night<p>That was great.<br />Simply and purely great.</p>

I’ll be 37 tomorrow, and I still have this vivid memory of catching mom singing along to a Don McLean song when I was little. It’s one of my favourite memories of her :)</p>
<p>Could make this a sort of challenge for Mum’s Day if anyone wants to sequel with a description of a favourite Mom Memory. Or not :) No big.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30159?basename=615882008-05-11T13:02:17ZMeliahttp://ficlets.com/authors/melia
