They say singing to your child is the easiest way to get them to sleep. They don't tell you that in the heat of a 2:00 AM meltdown, the only song your brain will remember is "Jingle Bells" in the middle of spring.

In this episode, I’m confessing my lack of vocal talent and how I became a full-time car performer for my daughter. From "Elmo the Musical" during daycare pickups to the moment she realized what actual singing sounds like at Costco, I’m realizing that my bad singing is just another part of the "Daddy Era" curriculum.
