Who Let My Mother Use My Voice

You opened your mouth.

Your mother answered.

Nobody remembers inviting her.



Who Let My Mother Use My Voice? is a funny, affectionate song about the moment you hear yourself saying something you swore you’d never say.

Suddenly you’re lecturing a sweatshirt, defending the thermostat, and making your father’s noise when you sit down. Three generations have perfected the eye roll.

Apparently, it runs in the family.

“Don’t you biddle-bop at me!”

But beneath the familiar phrases is a choice. When a little hand spills some juice, the next words don’t have to be the ones you remember.

This song makes room for the laughter we inherit—and the kindness we can add.

Keep the laugh.

Change some words.

Make room for something new.

For parents, grown children, and anyone who has ever stopped mid-sentence and thought,

“Oh, no. There she is.”

“I hear my mother in my voice—

And there’s room for my voice, too.”
