The
karaoke disc jockey called Tom up to sing. His rendition of a popular
song was so terrible that Chrys felt her confidence rising. They all
made jokes about his body painting. The artist had painted a bunch of
bananas on his lower body using his male appendage as one of the
bananas. Janalee laughed so hard that tears were ruining her makeup.
Everyone
clapped as he sat down and the crowd’s approval was genuine. She was
impressed with the family atmosphere where every singer was applauded
with gusto. By the time Janalee’s name was called, Chrys felt
comfortable enough to stand beside her friend and hold the microphone
thrust into her hands. She looked around the room and several people
nodded and smiled as they performed their favorite song.
