Did I inadvertently step into a musical?

Fyreflixie posted 17 weeks 5 days ago — We took Maia to a “Baby and Me” playgroup today at a local Ontario Early Years Centre, to check it out.  Originally, Chris was going to take her by himself, but I decided to go along for the first trip.  Um.  It’s safe to say t...
