I had to do it

I have never been one to go ga-ga over some movie star or even join any kind of fan club for anyone. But, today, I sent an e-mail to Josh Groban. As you know from this post, Kallie is currently obssessed with Josh, and I thought I might enjoy receiving such a letter if I were a famous singer. Here's what I sent:

Dear Mr. Groban,

I am writing on behalf of my 2 1/2 year old daughter, Kallie, since she has recently become your youngest fan. When the radio stations in our area began playing Christmas music at the beginning of November, songs from your beautiful Christmas album were among the mix. One afternoon while we were running errands, your version of "Little Drummer Boy" came on the radio and I mentioned to Kallie that Josh Groban was singing this song. Since then, she has become obsessed with all things Josh Groban.

Whenever she hears your music, within 5 seconds of hearing your voice, she yells, "Mom! This is Josh Groban!" (In fact, other singers don't have names to her, they are simply referred to as "Not Josh Groban.") When the song finishes, she will beg for more--which has prompted us to purchase one of your CDs. Kallie saw you on Oprah's Favorite Things as well as on Target commercials and pointed out that Josh Groban was on TV. She has even started pointing out young men she sees in pictures or at stores who look like you--and is a bit disappointed when I tell her it's not Josh. We are quite entertained by her new-found obsession and hope that you are entertained by it as well. Thank you for making wonderful music!

Sincerely,

Amanda (& Kallie) Segeberg
