The month of alphabet is drawing to a close. We are advancing to the hard letters. Q is for Que Sera Sera by Doris Day. Honestly this song could have been written about me because when I was just a little girl this was my mother's favorite response. Sometimes I thought I lived in a musical. My mom would bust out into whatever song fit the moment. This was the one I heard most of my life. When I had children of my own.....they heard it too....often. For the past twenty-five years I have had high schoolers of my own. I have an additional verse I added to the original song. I teach high school Spanish....and "Que Sera Sera" really means What will be, will be. So when my students ask me questions about their future I occasionally will sing them this extra verse....
Now I teach children at high school
and they always ask me won't it be ccool
to be a doctor, walk on the moon
I want it to happen soon (spoken softly...."And I say")
Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be
The future's not yours to see...
Que sera sera.
So today I say to you, "Que Sera Sera"....What will be today....will be! Have an Awesome Monday!

I love that. You sound like a great teacher. Wish I'd thought of Que Sera Sera when I was teaching. My fifth-graders would of had fun trying to figure out what I meant.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Seems we had the same idea songwise again. Loved your post.
